RCMP northwest of Edmonton are investigating after a boy brought a gun to a middle school on Tuesday, and the school division is also launching its own probe into what happened.
He said a shelter in place was active from when the gun was discovered until the end of the school day, when class was let out and students were allowed to go home as they normally would with no extra precautions.
Some parents came to pick up their kids once a notice was sent out, but he said for the most part, classes carried on as normal. Bird, who said he is also a gun owner, said Tuesday’s incident is a good reminder for parents to make sure their firearms are properly stored and their kids don’t know the code to the safe or where the key is. He would also advice parents to go a step further and make sure their guns have trigger locks.The youth was arrested and the investigation is ongoing, RCMP said. As of Tuesday afternoon, no charges had been laid.
