  "summary": "A 15-year-old boy has been arrested in connection with a security incident at multiple schools in Toronto's Riverdale neighbourhood. The incident occurred on Wednesday when police responded to a call about a student receiving a threat at an unspecified school. In response, nine schools in the area were placed under hold and secure or shelter in place orders, which were lifted around 1:30 p.m. following the investigation. The Toronto District School Board confirmed that the threat was made towards a student at Eastdale Collegiate Institute. Police arrested the 15-year-old boy, who is now facing multiple weapons charges, including possession of a weapon for dangerous purposes, carrying a concealed weapon, assault with a weapon, and having a face mask or disguise. The boy is scheduled to appear in court on Thursday.",
