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.”

    Can you tell me how many school shootings there have been in the US while schools were closed?

    Im guessing the number is very low if not 0.

    Not casualties is not the same as shooting at an empty building

      Its not zero, I can tell you that much. And the definition used by federal government includes closed schools, also buses and any other school property regardless of status. Someone brandishes a gun at the school bus depot, thats a school shooting.

      “a gun is brandished, is fired, or a bullet hits school property for any reason, regardless of the number of victims (including zero), time, day of the week, or reason.”

          Its only the gun grabbers spending resources to track school shootings. Nobody is telling you how many have zero causalities because no one is spending the resources to find out.
