Police immediately responded to the school and arrested a student. The firearm was not located at the school but was later seized as part of the investigation.
A youth, who can not be named, has been charged with a variety of offences including possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and carrying a concealed weapon, amongst others. The youth was released after a judicial hearing with conditions including not to attend the school or have contact with several students, and is expected to be in Bonnyville Provincial Court on March 20th.
