Véronique Dubuc, a spokesperson for Montreal police, said investigators were called Wednesday in the late afternoon about a possible shooting outside a school on Hillsdale Road near Van Horne Avenue.
Police were on the scene by 6 p.m., established a perimeter, and determined that at least one bullet struck the school, she said.
Yair Szlak, president and CEO of Federation CJA, and Eta Yudin, vice-president of the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs Quebec, issued a joint statement Wednesday, saying the shooting took place sometime in the night between Tuesday and Wednesday.
The Montreal police service has assured, as a precaution, there will be increased presence in front of all Jewish schools in the city, the statement says.
Outremont MP Rachel Bendayan said on X, formerly Twitter, that she spoke with school administrators and community leaders about the incident.
Last week, Montreal police announced they arrested a suspect in connection with shots fired at a Jewish school back in November.
