A Toronto high school was briefly in lockdown this afternoon after shots were fired behind the building.

Toronto Police Constable Alex Li says no one appears to have been injured in the incident at Cedarbrae Collegiate in the city’s east end.

But he says police found multiple shell casings behind the school, as well as a vehicle with bullet holes.

Police lifted a lockdown on the school after about an hour, although they remained on the scene to investigate the shooting.

Constable Li says police are looking for a man between 18 and 20 years old wearing a tuque and a red sweatshirt.

Anyone with information on the incident is encouraged to come forward.
