Toronto police say a 27-year-old man has been charged after allegedly saying there would be a mass shooting at a Toronto nightclub in a Facebook post.
Police said they were made aware of the post on Friday and determined that there was no validity to the post and it was done as a hoax.
Michael Aaron Jardine of Hamilton was arrested and charged with conveying false information with intent to harm and failure to comply with probation.
Police allege that Jardine created a fake Facebook account to make the post.
He appeared in a Toronto court Saturday.
