Frightening false alarm as multiple schools in Victoria were shut down as police responded to reports of a gunman on the loose

A frightening hunt for an armed man that forced multiple Victorian schools to shut has been deemed a false alarm.

Christ the King Catholic School in Geelong told parents about a 'serious, ongoing incident close to the school' on Thursday. 

'The man involved has not been caught and there are concerns that he may be carrying a firearm,' the school posted. 

'So I am suggesting that you put off on bringing your child to school, as this will assist police as well, with less traffic around the area.'
