Toronto police say the service’s hate crime unit is investigating after a Jewish girls elementary school in North York was shot at for the third time this year.
In a brief social media post, police said they were called to Bais Chaya Mushka Girls Elementary School at about 2:33 a.m. Friday.
Responding officers found “evidence of firearm discharge,” according to police. No injuries were reported.
The hate crime unit and the gun and gang task force were both deployed to the scene, police said.
The same school was targeted by gunfire in October, on the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur, and in May.
Those incidents also happened in the early morning hours when the school was empty.
Police have not provided any updates on their investigations into either earlier shooting.
Both shootings drew condemnation from politicians and community leaders.
Bais Chaya Mushka Girls Elementary School was previously targeted on Yom Kippur. That shooting broke a window, in addition to other damage to the building. (CBC)
