Second Suspect Arrested in November Montreal Jewish School Shooting

Montreal police have arrested a 19-year-old suspect in connection with a shooting attack on the Yeshiva Gedola, which occurred on November 12, 2023. This incident marked the second shooting at the Jewish school within a week, with the first occurring on November 9. The suspect was seen firing shots at the school before fleeing in a getaway vehicle, resulting in damage to the building but no injuries. A previous suspect, a 20-year-old man, was arrested in May and charged with related offenses. Jewish community leaders expressed concern over a rising tide of antisemitic violence following the recent Israel-Hamas conflict, emphasizing the need for accountability and strong legal repercussions against perpetrators. The investigation is ongoing, with authorities indicating that additional suspects may still be identified.
