Forget guns, Toronto will likely have to start keeping tabs on grenades like Sweden:
The national bomb squad was called out to investigate the object, which turned out to be a hand grenade. The first report of the object was made around 10.30am. "It was a teacher at the school who raised the alarm. The employee then showed [us] where the object was and we cordoned off a large area," said police press spokesperson Per Fahlström.
