(JTA) — Shots from a BB gun were fired at the Valley Village Community Kollel in Los Angeles.
The building was struck on Sunday morning, while the Kollel was in session inside, the Yeshiva World news website reported.
No one was injured from the shots. A car parked outside of the building had a window shot out, however.
Los Angeles Police Department officers responded to a call about the shots. Police officers swept a nearby building, where they took a man with a BB gun into custody, according to Yeshiva World News.
It is not clear if the Kollel was intentionally targeted.
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
