TORONTO — Students and staff at a Toronto Jewish girls school that was the target of a shooting over the weekend are shaken but undeterred, the principal said Monday as police continue to investigate the incident.

Rabbi Yaacov Vidal of the Bais Chaya Mushka Elementary School said some students were apprehensive about attending classes on Monday but everyone showed up.

Members of the Jewish community, supporters and politicians gathered at the school Monday morning for a rally, with speakers calling for strength and solidarity. "We are in an industrial area. So that makes it a lot more shocking that they came to us," he said."It's not like we are in the heart of the Jewish community or anything like that."

"And if not, we are available – teachers, staff, myself – and we will definitely make sure that everyone gets the help that they need to cope with this kind of trauma," Vidal said. "We stand together, we stand strong, because there is no bullet that can shatter our resolve as a country to stand up against this pernicious hate," he said.
