OTTAWA – The creepy clown craze has hit Ottawa.
According to the Sun, students at College catholique Franco-Ouest in Bells Corners recently showed staff a threatening message they found on Instagram — and police were called.
The threat said, “Who wants to die first?”
It was directed at St. Peters Catholic School in Orleans, but according to the paper, police determined there was no credible threat.
Police also received a report of a clown sighting at a school in Barrhaven on Wednesday, as well as a sighting Tuesday near the intersection of Greenbank and Fallowfield Roads.
