Police are investigating several shots that broke windows at a synagogue in Ohio.

Officers in Lima say they believe it�s a case of vandalism and not a hate crime.

They say it appears that several windows at the Temple Beth Israel-Shaare Zedek synagogue were broken Friday night by either a BB gun or pellet gun.

Police say they are adding extra patrols and will look into whether it�s more than vandalism.

Lima Police Sgt. Jason Warren says there are no signs indicating that and he says it�s common to find that type of vandalism in the city.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations said Monday that police should investigate it as a hate crime.

Lima is roughly 80 miles (129 kilometers) southwest of Toledo.
