Police say 2 Jewish schools in Montreal were hit by gunshots; no injuries reported

Two Jewish schools in Montreal were hit overnight by gunshots, police said November 9.

Staff members discovered bullet holes on the exterior of the buildings when they arrived on November 9 morning. Nobody was inside at the time of the shootings, police said.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reacted to the shootings, telling reporters in a Montreal suburb that Canadians must denounce violent antisemitism in the strongest terms.

"We are seeing an increase in threats of violence," Trudeau said. "That's not who we are as Canadians. We are a country that has done better than just about any other country at understanding and respecting different perspectives."
