Toronto police say a lockdown at an elementary school in North York has ended after police determined that firecrackers — not gunshots — were responsible for loud bangs heard in the area.

Officers were called to the Wilson Avenue and Allen Road area at 11:28 a.m. on Wednesday after police received calls about the sound of gunshots in the area.

St. Norbert Catholic Elementary School was placed in lockdown as a precaution.

Officers investigated and found evidence of firecrackers being lit in the area.

The lockdown has been lifted.
