A man wielding a rifle near an elementary school in Toronto was shot and killed by police on Thursday.
Police officers responding to a report of an armed man walking down a Toronto neighborhood street shot the man after he confronted officers, Toronto's police chief said. The incident led to the lockdown of five nearby schools, according to city officials. The shooting comes days after a gunman stormed an elementary school in Texas, killing 21 people.
"I don't want to speculate and suggest that it's something similar to what's happening in the United States," Ramer said.
