Another resident said: "Police have taped off right outside the school, it is really scary."

A third resident said: "There is a lot of anxiety in the air right now, we want answers."

A Glasgow City Council spokeswoman said: “School staff acted swiftly to an incident outside the school grounds today and emergency services attended.

“It would be inappropriate to comment further at this stage during the police investigation.”
