Toronto police say they’re looking for multiple suspects who allegedly shot at an elementary school in North York early Saturday morning.

“We’re not going to ignore the obvious, you know, what occurred here and what the target of the shooting was,” he said. “But at the same time, it will be wrong to just guess at this point.”

    I’m struggling to wrap my head around this crime. Two people shoot five bullets at an elementary school before 5am on a Saturday, then leave with their getaway driver. This crime was discovered a few hours later by school staff reporting evidence of a shooting.

        What was the motivation? It’s easy to say “antisemitism” but like if that was the case - why here instead of a synagogue? And why did they put in minimum effort, accomplish nothing, and quit? It doesn’t make sense.

          It was at night, pretty common method of intimidation. It also could’ve been an unrelated shooting on the street though. Dunno if more info was found.

          You never half-assed something?

          Personally if I had a choice I would pick lazy terrorists over hardworking ones.

          You assume the perpetrators were thinking humans. That’s a wild assumption.

            It’s important to know that they are - you gotta know how people get here to know how to prevent it

      Its a fairly standard school shooting. Most school shootings dont have a victim, just like this one.

          The school doesnt have to be open or have any students on campus to be consideeed a school shooting.
