Students at a Montreal Jewish school were back in class on Nov. 13, after their school building was hit by gunfire over the weekend for the second time in three days.

School spokesman Lionel Perez says that while parents are worried about the violence directed at the school, the Jewish community won’t allow itself to be terrorized.
