| quote: | Another GTA School In Lockdown After Report Of A Teen With A Gun
Wednesday September 17, 2008

Just one day after a student was shot - and then charged - in an incident at a Toronto school, police are back at another campus on Wednesday. The reason: a report of yet another teenager bringing a gun inside.
Victoria Park Collegiate Institute on Wallingford Road in the York Mills and Victoria Park area, is home to about 1,341 pupils. When calls came in to police just after 2pm Wednesday that one of them was seen with a gun in his waistband, the campus was placed in immediate lockdown and an all-out search begun.
Nothing has been found so far, and these things often resolve themselves with nothing being discovered. But the report coming on the heels of Tuesday's tragedy has left many on edge - and some waiting to be let out of their classrooms once police determine if any danger actually exists.
The Emergency Task Force is on the scene as are 15 to 20 squad cars. No shots have been fired and no one has been hurt.
School would have been dismissed by 3:30pm, but remained in lockdown with no students allowed in our out.
Like Tuesday's incident, parents have rushed to the school waiting for any news on their children. They've gathered outside the campus and some have attempted to call the students stuck inside on cell phones.
A staging area has been set up at 248 Cassandra Blvd, the east side of the tennis courts. Relatives are asked to wait for students there. |
