Schools in Edinburgh were forced into a lock down this morning following reports of a "man with a bladed weapon". Two people were injured and taken to hospital after a man was seen brandishing two large blades in Calder in the west of the city. Police Scotland said the incident is now "contained" and is not terror-related. Video captured shows an ongoing siege in a high rise block of flats, as a person, alleged to be the knifeman, grins at cops waiting below.
