It seemed like just another day in the city when Toronto police tweeted about reports of five people on the roof a building, possibly armed with a gun.

Person w a gun:

But, this wasn't another unfortunate instance of gun violence in Toronto...not at all. It was actually a group of adults playing with water guns to stay cool in this sweltering heat.

Police tweeted the correction not long after the initial tweet.

Update:
- Units including ETF OS
- no real guns, just a group adults cooling down with.....blue and red water guns@TPS51Div #GO1251401^adc

And Twitter just couldn't believe it.

i really had to read this twice to make sure this was a real tweet from the official Toronto Police OPS account...

Some just thought the whole thing was ridiculous.

Omg. People can’t even use water blasters anymore

It may just be so outrageous that it's laughable, but hopefully no one else gets in trouble with the law for trying to cool down in this heat wave.
