Toronto police say they have arrested and charged a second suspect in shootings at two synagogues that drew widespread condemnation.
Police say the first incident occurred at the Beth Avraham Yoseph of Toronto synagogue in Vaughan, Ont., shortly before midnight on March 6.
They say shots were also fired at Shaarei Shomayim synagogue in Toronto’s north end later that night.
Investigators say no injuries were reported in both cases, but the buildings were damaged by gunfire.
The first suspect, an 18-year-old male, was arrested earlier this month.
Police say the second suspect, a 17-year-old male from Waterloo, Ont., was taken into custody after a search warrant was carried out at a home in nearby Cambridge on Wednesday.
The teen has been charged with two counts of reckless discharge of a firearm, among other offences.
The investigation is ongoing and police are asking anyone with information about the shootings to come forward.
