CNN —Police in Toronto, Canada, are opening a hate crime investigation after shots were fired overnight into the window of a Jewish girls’ elementary school – the second time this year the school was targeted by gunfire, officials said.
The investigation into the incident will be led by the agency’s Gun and Gang Task Force with assistance from its hate crime unit, he added.
There were no injuries or reports of gunshots heard, and the building was empty because the school is currently closed for the Jewish High Holidays, Krawczyk said.
The same school was also hit with gunfire in a similar incident in May, Krawczyk said.
The agency has increased police presence in Jewish neighborhoods in recent weeks and will also do so at the school as the investigation unfolds, Krawczyk said.
