The jarring moments leading up to a Toronto school being thrown into lockdown after a reported gun call have been captured on video.
Video obtained by CTV News Toronto purportedly shows the events leading up to the lockdown at Marc Garneau Collegiate Institute, near Don Mills Road and Overlea Boulevard, on Thursday.
In it, a number of students appear to be seen fighting in a gym. One individual can then be heard screaming "he has a gun, he has a gun" repeatedly.
The footage then shows students exiting the gym.
The school was placed under a lockdown after police were called around 12:25 p.m., though that order has since been lifted.
“There was information that a gun was seen in the school ... I can't comment on the circumstances that led up to the events,” Toronto police Insp. Lori Kranenburg told reporters at the scene.
“All I can tell you is that we were called here for a person with a gun, that an investigation was commenced and that one student was taken into custody. Charges have not yet been laid.”
