Ontario Provincial Police say they’re investigating an incident that involved local high schools in Muskoka, Ont., on Wednesday.
At about 1:20 p.m., a teen made “concerning” comments about potentially committing a violent act at another high school, police say.
The schools were both placed into a “hold and secure,” which keeps all students inside and prohibits anyone from entering the premises who isn’t a part of the school community.
