Jewish Community Respondes to Ontario Synagogue Shooting
Following a shooting incident outside of an Ontario synagogue Sunday night, the eve of Yom Kippur. If "the police wasn't there ... it definitely would have been a massacre," witness Douglas Lobel told The Canadian Jewish News.
Lobel and his wife, alongside about two dozen congregants, attended the religious service at the Sons of Jacob Synagogue in Belleville, Ontario, when they heard three loud bangs.
He said that the shul's president, Norm Weddum, went to investigate and reported back that there was shooting outside. Lobel heard about 30 shots, 23 of which punctured the synagogue's stained glass windows.
