当局表示,周日在安大略省一座犹太会堂附近发生交火,造成一名警员和一名男子受伤,当时犹太社区成员正在庆祝赎罪日。该男子被送往医院,生命垂危。
该省特别调查单位表示,交火事件发生在安大略省贝尔维尔的雅各之子犹太会堂附近,该地位于多伦多以东约110英里处。贝尔维尔警方表示,警员于当晚7点10分左右与该男子对峙,两人均被送往医院。
警方尚未透露枪击事件的起因,也未表明犹太会堂或犹太社区是否为袭击目标。警方表示目前不存在公共安全风险,呼吁民众在警员调查期间避开该区域。
该会堂主席诺曼·韦达姆告诉加拿大广播公司新闻网,当时他正引导人们进入礼拜堂准备开始仪式,突然听到了枪声。
“我当时就说,‘哦,这绝对是有人……在这里开枪,’”他对该媒体说道。“那时候我们跑回会堂的礼堂,随手关上身后的门,以免成为显眼的目标。然后我们都趴在了地上。”
负责调查涉及警员的严重事件的平民机构——特别调查单位表示,已派遣调查人员前往现场。
贝尔维尔警方表示,在调查进行期间不会进一步透露相关信息。
安大略省省长道格·福特表示,枪击事件发生在会堂外,当时民众正聚集在一起庆祝赎罪日。
“今晚早些时候在贝尔维尔的雅各之子犹太会堂外发生的枪击事件令我深感厌恶,当时犹太社区成员正聚集在一起庆祝赎罪日,”福特在社交媒体的帖子中说道。
福特表示,犹太人“完全有权安全地聚集、进行礼拜,无需恐惧”,并呼吁将肇事者逮捕并起诉。
“我的慰问也送给受伤的警员及其家人和亲人,”福特说道。
多伦多市长奥利维亚·周也谴责了这起暴力事件。
“多伦多的犹太人不应该为了庆祝赎罪日,或是仅仅为了过好日常生活而需要警方驻守,”她在社交媒体上说道。“只要我们仍在应对不断上升的反犹太主义和仇恨,我们就会不惜一切代价保护社区安全。”
约克地区警方表示,该区域目前没有已知威胁,但居民应会看到针对宗教场所的巡逻增加。
这起周日的枪击事件发生数月前,总理马克·卡尼曾警告称,随着反犹太主义浪潮抬头,加拿大未能保护好犹太社区。
卡尼列举了针对犹太学校的枪击事件、犹太会堂遭纵火袭击以及针对社区中心和犹太裔企业的袭击事件。他的政府已宣布追加数百万加元的拨款,用于帮助信仰机构支付安保设施、培训和人员的费用。
多伦多地区的犹太会堂此前也曾遭遇枪击。今年3月,沃恩市和多伦多市的多座犹太会堂入口遭枪击损坏,无人受伤。警方随后逮捕了与这些枪击事件有关的三名嫌疑人。
本月早些时候,密歇根州的一座犹太会堂在遭遇恐怖袭击六个月后,于犹太赎罪日前夕重新开放。位于底特律地区的以色列圣殿于3月12日遭袭击,一名41岁男子驾驶装满烟花和汽油的卡车撞入建筑深处。美国联邦调查局将这起事件定性为“针对犹太社区的针对性暴力行为”。

Shooting near Ontario synagogue on Yom Kippur leaves police officer wounded, man critically injured

A police officer and a man were wounded in an exchange of gunfire Sunday near a synagogue in Ontario as members of the Jewish community marked Yom Kippur, authorities said. The man was hospitalized in life-threatening condition.
The province’s Special Investigations Unit said the exchange of gunfire happened near the Sons of Jacob Synagogue in Belleville, Ontario, about 110 miles east of Toronto. Belleville police said the officer encountered the man around 7:10 p.m. and that both were taken to a hospital.
Police have not said what led to the shooting or whether the synagogue or Jewish community was targeted. They said there was no risk to public safety and asked people to avoid the area while officers investigated.
The synagogue’s president, Norman Weddum, told CBC News Network he was ushering people into the sanctuary to begin services when he heard gunfire.
“I could say, ‘Oh, this is definitely someone … shooting here,’” he told the outlet. “So that’s when we ran back into the auditorium of the synagogue, closed the doors behind us so as to not leave a visible target. And we hit the floor.”
The Special Investigations Unit, the civilian agency that investigates serious incidents involving police, said it sent investigators to the scene.
Belleville police said they would not provide further information while the investigation was underway.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford said the shooting took place outside the synagogue as people gathered for Yom Kippur.
“I’m disgusted by the shooting that took place outside the Sons of Jacob Synagogue in Belleville earlier this evening as Jewish community members gathered to mark Yom Kippur,” Ford said in a post on social media.
Ford said Jewish people “have every right to gather and worship safely and without fear” and called for those responsible to be arrested and prosecuted.
“My thoughts are also with the police officer who was shot, along with their family and loved ones,” Ford said.
Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow also condemned the violence.
“Jewish Torontonians should not need police presence to observe Yom Kippur, or to simply live their day-to-day lives,” she said on social media. “As long as we contend with rising antisemitism and hate, we will spare no expense keeping the community safe.”
York Regional Police said there was no known threat in the region but residents should expect increased patrols at places of worship.
Sunday’s shooting comes months after Prime Minister Mark Carney warned that Canada was failing its Jewish community amid a surge in antisemitism.
Carney cited shootings at Jewish schools, firebombings of synagogues and attacks on community centers and Jewish-owned businesses. His government announced millions in additional funding to help faith-based institutions pay for security infrastructure, training and personnel.
Synagogues in the Toronto area have also previously been targeted by gunfire. In March, shots damaged the entrances of synagogues in Vaughan and Toronto. No one was injured. Police later arrested three suspects in connection with those shootings.
Earlier this month, a Michigan synagogue reopened in time for the Jewish High Holidays, six months after it was targeted in a terror attack. The Detroit-area Temple Israel was attacked on March 12 when a 41-year-old man rammed his truck packed with fireworks and gasoline deep into the building. The FBI called it a “targeted act of violence against the Jewish community.”
