Halifax Regional Police say that two women who were taken into custody for questioning after a shooting outside a high school have been released without charges.
Multiple shots rang out Monday afternoon as students were leaving Citadel High School for the day, but no one was hurt.
Cont. Brian Palmeter says police continue to search for a male suspect in connection with the incident.
He said there is no indication that the male has a connection to the school.
Palmeter says officers are also hoping to track down and speak to the intended target of the shooting, who's believed to be a student.
He says there are extra officers at Citadel High today as a precaution, but there's no indication of a threat to students or staff.

Bahahaha, How many people came to your 16th Birthday Party??
From Yahoo.ca
..An Australian schoolgirl had to cancel her 16th birthday party after her Facebook invitation went viral and close to 200,000 people said they would turn up at her house, reports said Tuesday.
The Sydney girl had wanted her schoolmates to attend, and the post -- which included her address -- said they could bring friends if they let her know, Sydney's Daily Telegraph newspaper reported.
"(It's an) open house party as long as it doesn't get out of hand," she wrote, adding that she had not had time to invite everyone individually.
But within 24 hours more than 20,000 people had replied to the public event to say they were attending and by Tuesday almost 200,000 potential partygoers had reportedly accepted the invitation.
The girl's father, who asked not to be named, said his daughter had invited "a few friends" over Facebook but had initially been unaware of the settings required to stop strangers from viewing the information.
"She was just anxious about whether anyone would show up to her birthday," he told the Telegraph.
Police said it appeared the girl's original post had been reposted by an "unknown person" and this had gone viral, as they warned of the dangers of advertising parties on social networking sites.
"The father has given us an undertaking that he will have the Facebook page removed and the party will definitely not be going on," police Inspector Terry Dalton told ABC Radio. "There will be no party at that address.
"The only thing that anybody who turns up on that street will be met by will be some police vehicles patrolling the area."
In 2008, then 16-year-old Corey Worthington attracted global attention when he threw a wild party while his parents were away, after making an open invitation on his MySpace page.
About 500 people turned up to his two-storey home in Melbourne, and in the ensuing hours police called in the air wing and the dog squad to help subdue revellers.

Tsunami Update
Waves of up to two metres high are already being seen in Hawaii in the wake of the massive earthquake in Japan -- and officials warn they could become larger.
Kauai was the first of the Hawaiian islands hit by the tsunami, with water rushing ashore in Honolulu and swamping the beach in Waikiki.
But the waves have stopped short of the area's high-rise hotels.
Evacuations have also been ordered along the U-S west coast and a tsunami watch has been issued for sections of the B-C coast, including parts of Vancouver Island.
Emergency officials are warning people to get off beaches and not to go there to watch for any big waves, as has happened with some previous tsunami watches

Tsunami waves generated by a powerful earthquake are now hitting Hawaii, while parts of British Columbia remain under an advisory as the surge heads towards the Pacific coast of North America.
Kauai was the first island to be struck, with one-metre tsunami waves making landfall around 8:30 ET, according to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.
One-metre high waves also hit parts of the island of Oahu. The waves swept ashore in Honolulu, swamping the empty beach in Waikiki and overwhelming the breakwall in the world-famous resort. However, the waves didn't reach the nearby high-rise hotels.
Officials warned that the waves would continue and could become larger.
Officials have warned Hawaii could experience waves up to two metres high.
Residents of at-risk coastal areas have been moved to evacuation centres and tourists have been moved to the higher floors of their hotels.
Long lines were reportedly forming at stores and gas stations as residents stocked up on gas, bottled water, canned food and generators.
"We're preparing for the worst and we're praying for the best," said John Cummings III, spokesman for the Honolulu Department of Emergency Management.
B.C. braces for tsunami
Residents in some areas of British Columbia are also bracing for the tsunami, and orders have been issued to evacuate marinas and beach areas.
B.C.'s north coast and the Haida Gwaii Islands were subject to the advisory, along with the Bella Bella and Shearwater areas and the coast of Vancouver Island from Cape Scott to Port Renfrew.
Other areas of the province are not at risk.
"At this time it is believed that a low level tsunami has been generated that could impact marinas and other coastal infrastructure or create strong currents in harbours and isolated coastal areas," said a statement from B.C.'s Provincial Emergency Program.
Local governments in the affected areas were advised to activate emergency plans and immediately evacuate marinas, beaches and low-lying areas.
Glen Plummer, of Emergency Management B.C., said only areas below the normal high tide mark are affected.
"The modelling we're receiving from the West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Centre is indicating waves under one metre. What that means is people in those areas should stay away from, out of, and off of the water, and boats in those areas might get jostled around a bit," Plummer told CTV's Canada AM from Victoria, B.C.
Cindy Preller, from the NOAA West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center, said tsunami waves are much more powerful than non-tsunami waves of the same height.
"The most common tsunami arrives like a fast flood and it just doesn't stop, it keeps coming," Preller told Canada AM.
Pacific coast prepares for surge
Meanwhile, tsunami warnings or advisories were issued for much of the Pacific coast of North America from California to Alaska.
Northern California and parts of Oregon were under a tsunami warning, along with isolated island areas of western Alaska.
Residents in the warning areas who live near the beach or other low-lying areas were told to "move immediately inland to higher ground and away from all harbours and inlets including those sheltered directly from the sea," said a statement from the West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center.
"Those feeling the earth shake, seeing unusual wave action, or the water level rising or receding may have only a few minutes before the tsunami arrival and should move immediately."
Other coastal regions of California, along with Washington, B.C. and Alaska were under a tsunami advisory.
In those areas, residents were warned to stay away from the water.
"A tsunami capable of producing strong currents or waves dangerous to persons in or very near the water is expected," said the statement.
However, significant, widespread inundation is not expected in the advisory areas, the warning center said.
A tsunami warning has also been issued for Hawaii, New Zealand, Mexico and Central and South America.
Following is a list of some expected tsunami arrival times along the North American West Coast (time zones as indicated):
Bella Bella, B.C.: 8:05 a.m. PST
Tofino, B.C.: 6:58 a.m. PST
The north tip of Vancouver Island, B.C.: 6:19 a.m. PST
The Washington-B.C. border: 7:04 a.m. PST
Seattle, Washington: 8:44 a.m. PST
The north tip of Vancouver Island, B.C.: 6:19 a.m. PST
Juneau, Alaska: 5:35 a.m. AKST
Santa Barbara, California: 8:17 a.m. PST
Charleston, Oregon: 7:15 a.m. PST
Anyone seeking information about Canadians in Japan is asked to call DFAIT at 613-943-1055, or toll free within Canada at 1-800-387-3124.

TRUE BLOOD TEASERS AND *SPOILERS* ARE STARTING TO SHOW UP YAYAYAYAYAYAYA!!!!!!
OMG aside from Warm weather, sunshine, flip flops, not having to wear a bulky coat, not having salt all over my truck, and not shoveling twice a week, another reason why I LOVE summer is TRUE BLOOD! I have read all of the books and NEVER miss an episode. If you are a fan I MUST share this..
Now, if you have read the Books....you can guess at what this is all about! OMG AMAZEBALLZ
Please don't read any further if you want the entire season to be a suprise this is a MAJOR story line in Season 4
*******************************SPOILER***************************************
OMG A-Skars has said....Our favorite Viking vampire suffers from amnesia for a large portion of the season—as Skarsgård puts it, "He messed with the wrong people,"—and because he loses that crucial matchup, he also loses his memory and therefore his entire personality.
At the 28th Annual William S. Paley Television Festival in Beverly Hills, Skarsgård told assembled fans, "This powerful character is just gone—it's not what we've built up over the past three years; it is just gone. And it's a lot of fun for me because it's the polar opposite of who Eric really is…He is lost. He doesn't know how he is, he knows he's a vampire, but he slowly finds out stuff, like, 'Did I do that? I killed those people? Why would I do that? Oh. Really?' It's not easy to hear—and not knowing who he can trust, who's a friend or an enemy. He's very vulnerable."
If you want more now, buy the Sookie Books! They do not dissapoint, and the books and Television Series don't follow each other completly, so the Books wont ruin EVERYTHING for you......
And here is a scene that was shown at "Paleyfest" SO FLIPPIN' EXCITED!
