This is the best summary I could come up with:


In both cases, the callers reported the schools' front doors had been struck by bullets, but police cannot yet confirm if there is a link between the incidents, he said.

The shots fired come at a time of rising tensions in Montreal related to the ongoing conflict between Palestinians and Israelis in the Middle East.

On X, formerly known as Twitter, Anthony Housefather, MP for the riding of Mount Royal — where Talmud Torah is located — said more security had been added.

"For me, violence and hate, antisemitism and scenes such as the ones that we saw at Concordia University or shots fired at Jewish Schools overnight, all of that is unacceptable, and it's also not who we are," said Trudeau.

Quebec Premier François Legault told reporters at the same news conference that what happened to the two schools cannot be tolerated.

Public Security Minister François Bonnardel told CBC he is concerned by the shots fired as well as the violence at Concordia University yesterday.
