Montreal police are investigating after they say a Jewish school in the city鈥檚 most populous borough has been hit by gunfire.

The police in C么te-des-Neiges鈥揘otre-Dame-de-Gr芒ce responded after they received information that some projectile impacts were visible on the Jewish school located on Hillsdale Road near Van Horne Avenue.

At around 6 p.m. local time, police arrived at the school and located more than one projectile impact on the front of the school.

Police say there are no suspects and no injuries.

The officials believe the incident happened before Wednesday.

They say a police car will be present near the school and investigators and crime scene technicians are on the scene.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reacted to the incident on social platform X.

Trudeau wrote: 鈥渄isgusted that another Jewish school has been the target of a shooting. Relieved that no one was hurt, but I鈥檓 thinking of the parents and community members in Montreal who must be incredibly shaken. This is antisemitism, plain and simple 鈥 and we will not let it win.鈥

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre also condemned the attack.

He tweeted, 鈥渢he second shooting at a Jewish school in a week. We are witnessing a terrifying escalation of anti-semitism in this country. The Trudeau government must step up and finally do something to protect Jewish people in Canada against this violence.鈥
