Officers have taken the individual into custody and recovered a weapon

City police say they responded to a report of an individual with a weapon at St. Joseph-Scollard Hall today.

The high school was placed on lockdown.

"Officers have taken the individual into custody and recovered a weapon. No injuries were reported," says police spokesman David Woolley.

"This is all the information we can release at this time. We will be providing a full update on the incident when we are able."

There are numerous reports on social media that say the weapon is a pellet gun and the individual is a student.

Students at the school are telling BayToday that the incident happened at around 12:50  and was "scary,"

They also say there were Snapchat photos of a male student holding a gun on a bus.

Some Grade 10 students said they thought it was just a drill.

Others said they were shaken and scared but news that it was a fake gun surfaced "it calmed us."  

BayToday will update this story.
