Mounties with the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP say no one was injured after a high school in Duncan, B.C., was placed under a hold and secure protocol on Monday morning.
The hold and secure protocol was issued at Cowichan Secondary School around 10:30 a.m. after a youth, who did not have connections with the school, was reportedly spotted chasing another youth with an "edged weapon" on school property, according to RCMP.
"Police believe that these two youths are known to each other and that this was an isolated incident and there is no ongoing risk to students or the public," said RCMP in a release Tuesday. The hold and secure protocol was initiated, and lifted, on Monday based on advice from the RCMP, according to Cowichan Secondary principal Darcy Hoff.
