Update as of December 11th at 2:46 PM EST: Peel Regional Police have confirmed that the lockdown and hold & secure have been lifted.
A scary incident in Mississauga has caused two local secondary schools to go into full lockdown mode. Peel Regional Police just announced on Twitter that two schools in the Mississauga area, John Fraser Secondary School and St. Aloysius Gonzaga Secondary school have been put into lockdown after suspicion that an unwanted student was on the premise.
In a series of tweets, Peel Regional Police confirmed that a student who has uttered threats towards the school in the past and hasn’t been allowed on school property may be within the school zones at this moment.
School Resource Officers are currently checking the school to ensure that the student is not present and that the students and staff are safe.

My child texted me. I want to know if this is related to the incident two weeks ago with the teen that got arrested
