Mississauga High School was temporarily closed on Tuesday afternoon after a student was spotted with a weapon that turned out to be a fake, Peel Regional Police said.
At around 1:10 p.m., police responded to a call with dangerous weapons at St. Aloysius Gonzaga High School, near Winston Churchill Boulevard and Erin Mills Boulevard.
Police said there were reports of a student walking down the hall with a gun.
