Leaders of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations expressed their outrage at the brutal attack today upon the Ozar HaTorah School in Toulouse, France, which killed a rabbi, his two sons and one other child, and injured several other students.

“We are outraged at this savage act against schoolchildren who were waiting outside their school building at the beginning of the day. Not only did the shooter attack children at the entrance to the building but he also chased them inside. We express our condolences to the families and friends of the victims and our support to those injured and pray for their quick recovery. We stand in solidarity with the Jewish community of Toulouse and the entire Jewish community of France. We call on French law enforcement to do everything to apprehend those responsible for this attack as well as anyone who aids and abets these heinous acts,” said Richard Stone, chairman, and Malcolm Hoenlein, executive vice chairman.
