Jewish residents of Paris crammed inside the city’s historic Synagogue Nazareth Monday evening in an attempt to put words to their shock and grief following the gunning down of three young children and a father outside Toulouse’s Ozar Hatorah high school.
As French officials narrowed their investigation of the slaying of a Toulouse teacher, his two sons and the daughter of the Ozar Hatorah high school’s principal, parents and students faced their first full day since the bullets of a suspected serial killer shattered rained down chaos on their tightknit Jewish community.
The tight-knit Jewish community of Toulouse was thrown into turmoil Monday morning, the peace of the southwestern French city shattered by a gunman’s bullets.

In the midst of her mourning, the widow and mother of three of the victims of the attack on the Ozar Hatorah high school issues a heartfelt call for people around the world to carry on the memory of those whose lives were cut short.
