May 6, 2026

Toronto police say they have charged a suspect in connection with a pair of shootings at synagogues in Toronto and Vaughan in March.

On Friday, March 6, just before midnight, police said, sounds of gunshots were reported in the area of Clark Avenue West and York Hill Boulevard, north of Yonge and Steeles. When York Regional Police arrived, they observed the front doors of a synagogue had been struck and damaged by gunfire.

Two people who were inside the synagogue at the time of the shooting were not injured.

Then on the same night, just after midnight, Toronto police officers responded to reports of gunshots at the Shaarei Shomayim synagogue in the area of Bathurst Street and Glencairn Avenue, just south of Bathurst and Lawrence. When officers arrived, they also noted damage to the synagogue’s front entrance consistent with gunfire.

No one was inside at the time of the shooting and no injuries were reported.

An 18-year-old male of no fixed address has been charged with nine offences, including two counts of discharge firearm into a place; two counts of mischief to property over $5,000; unauthorized possession of a firearm; and occupy motor vehicle with a prohibited device.

The suspect, who is not being named as he was 17 at the time of the offence, is scheduled to appear in court at the Newmarket Courthouse on May 20.

The Toronto Police Service Integrated Gun and Gang Task Force, supported by the Counter-Terrorism Security Unit (Hate Crime Unit) worked along with the York Regional Police Firearms Investigations Team and the Hate Crime Prevention Unit in making the charges.

The investigation is ongoing, and police are asking anyone with information to contact them at 416-808-3500, or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477), or at www.222tips.com.

As the calendar flips to June, a trio of countries will be hosting World Cup games, and Canada is one of them.
