Toronto police have announced two arrests in connection with a shooting incident that took place at Bais Chaya Mushka Elementary School on Oct. 12.

The Jewish girls’ school, located on Chesswood Drive near Keele and Finch in the city’s north end, had a broken window after shots were fired from a vehicle on the road outside, police say. No one was inside at the time, and there were no injuries.

“This is the second incident at the school and it occurred on Yom Kippur, a sacred day for the Jewish community, making this even more devastating,” said Deputy Chief of Police Robert Johnson in making the announcement.
