Shots were fired at a Jewish girls' school in the North York district of Toronto early Friday morning, marking the third such incident at the institution this year, according to Toronto police.
Officers responding to the scene at Bais Chaya Mushka Elementary School discovered evidence of gunfire around 2:30 a.m. local time.
No injuries were reported. The Integrated Gun and Gang Task Force is leading the investigation, with support from the Hate Crime Unit.
This is the third shooting at the school in seven months. In May, two gunmen opened fire at the school on a Saturday morning while it was closed.

No one was injured in either of the incidents.

A car drove into a group of people at a holiday market in the eastern German city of Magdeburg on Friday.
German news agency dpa reported that the driver was arrested. At least 20 people were hurt, according to Bild.
Magdeburg, which is west of Berlin, is the state capital of Saxony-Anhalt and has about 240,000 inhabitants.
Barbara Leaf, the top US diplomat for the Middle East, on Friday informed Syria's new leader, Ahmed Al-Sharaa, that Washington would no longer pursue a reward for his arrest, AFP reported.
This announcement came during a meeting in Damascus, where Leaf praised "positive messages" from their discussions, including a commitment to combating terrorism.
Speaking to reporters after the meeting, which marked a rare formal visit by US officials to Damascus since the onset of Syria's devastating civil war, Leaf was quoted as having said, "Based on our discussion, I told him we would not be pursuing the Rewards for Justice reward offer that has been in effect for some years.”
The meeting follows Sharaa's rise to power after his Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) group ...

Baltimore, MD - Dec. 20, 2024 - Party City is going out of business, closing all remaining stores in Maryland and elsewhere, ending its 40-year reign as the go-to party supplier in the country, according to CNN reporters who viewed a meeting of the company’s corporate employees Friday.
CEO Barry Litwin told corporate employees the company is “winding down” operations and Friday was their last day of employment.
“That is without question the most difficult message that I’ve ever had to deliver,” Litwin said at the meeting, which was held on a video conference call. Party City’s “very best efforts have not been enough to overcome” its financial challenges, he added, resulting in the company’s collapse.

Earlier this week, the FBI arrested Abdullah Azz al-Din Taha Muhammad Hassan, a Virginia resident, on suspicion of planning an attack against the Israeli consulate in New York, Israel's Consul General in New York Ofir Akunis posted on X on Thursday.
According to the indictment, Hassan was apprehended after providing detailed bomb-making and planting instructions to an undercover agent.
In response, Akunis expressed gratitude for the swift action and collaboration with American authorities to thwart the attack. He emphasized that such attempts by terrorist organizations are direct assaults against the entire State of Israel.
Akunis stated, "This serves as further proof that international terrorism knows no borders and must be fought on every front and at all time...
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Thursday expressed optimism that a hostage release deal could be achieved between Israel and Hamas.
In an interview on Bloomberg, Blinken was asked whether anything has happened recently that gives him more grounds for hope that a deal is possible.
“There is, and the reality is we should logically be able to get this. And I say that with all the caution that comes with that statement because we’ve been very close before,” Blinken replied.
He later said, “But what’s changed is this: Hamas knows that the calvary’s not coming to the rescue. For months and months and months, it hoped it would get a wider war with Hezbollah, with Iran, with Iranian-aligned groups coming in and creating more problems for Israel o...
“Now it came to pass when Joseph came to his brothers, that they stripped Joseph of his shirt, of the fine woolen coat which was upon him. And they took him and cast him into the pit; now the pit was empty there was no water in it.” (Genesis 27:23-24)
From the opening verses in this week’s Parsha we see the animosity between Yosef and his brothers. The brothers feel that Yosef is arrogant and trying to lord over them. Yosef, seemingly oblivious to the impact of his dreams on his brothers, continues to share them. Tensions reach a boiling point, and when the brothers have Yosef alone, they decide it is time to eliminate him. The first thought was to kill him, but Reuven intervened and convinced the brothers to instead throw Yosef into a pit. The Torah tells that the pit w...
