Several Toronto schools are out of lockdown two hours after police responded to reports of a man with a rifle walking near Maberley Crescent and Oxhorn Road in Port Union.
Toronto police said calls came in shortly before 1 p.m. on Thursday.
Police said they located the man, who was described as in his late teens or early 20s, wearing a white ball hat and a three-quarter length coat.
Officers shot the man and paramedics are on the scene, police say.
“There is no wider threat to public safety,” police said shortly after 2 p.m.
Joseph Howe Senior Public School and Sir Oliver Mowat Collegiate Institute are no longer on lockdown as of shortly before 3 p.m.
Charlottetown Junior Public School was previously on lockdown before being moved into hold and secure along with Centennial Road Junior Public School and William G. Davis Junior Public School, according to tweets from the Toronto District School Board.
All three schools are no longer in hold and secure.
