RCMP respond to potential threat at Hunting Hills High School
A large number of police attended Hunting Hills High School in Red Deer Friday morning, responding to reports of a student possibly armed with a weapon.
Spokesperson Cpl. Laurel Scott with RCMP K Dvision says officers arrived on scene around 11:00 a.m. and located the student. It was determined, however, there was no weapon in their possession and no further public safety concern.
In a letter sent to parents on Friday, Principal Darwin Roscoe says the school was put into a Lock-Down as per the RCMP’s request.
“RCMP attended the school, investigated and quickly determined the threat was not real,” writes Roscoe. “Staff and the RCMP acted quickly and at no time were students or staff in danger. After the Lock-Down ended, teaching and learning continued as normal.”
