The hate crime unit of the Toronto police is investigating after gunfire hit a North York Jewish synagogue this week, resulting in damage to the building but no reported injuries.

The incident occurred at Temple Emanu-El in Toronto’s North York district, where officers arrived in response to a report of gunfire shortly before 11 p.m. on March 2. Congregants had been celebrating the holiday of Purim at the synagogue earlier that evening.
