With two shootings on Family Day – one fatal – it’s hard to blame Bramptonians for being a little on edge.

That could be the explanation after residents in the area of Central Peel Secondary School called Peel Regional Police Tuesday afternoon to report hearing the sounds of gunshots.

It was just after 4 p.m., and residents reported hearing at least one loud bang near the school, which is located on Kennedy Road North, north of Queen Street. It was, they believed, the sound of gunfire.

Peel police responded, and after searching the area, concluded the noise was actually the sound of a van slamming into a garbage dumpster.
