Red Deer RCMP say they are responding to reports of possible threats and are advising of heavy police presence in the area of Hunting Hills High School, the Collicut Centre, and Notre Dame Secondary School.

All facilities have been placed in a hold and secure while police conduct their investigation.

“We remind the public to avoid the area and refrain from posting pictures of police response to social media until the situation is resolved.”

An update will be provided once more information becomes available.

In a letter obtained by rdnewsNOW to parents from Hunting Hills High School principal Jamie Rawlusyk, he said out of an abundance of caution, they made a joint decision with the RCMP to release students from school for the remainder of the day.

“This decision follows an anonymous threat that was received and is currently being investigated by Red Deer RCMP,” he said.

“Buses are currently being sent for students who ride the bus, and RCMP will support a secure release of the students from the school. RCMP will also release students safely to their vehicles.”

Rawlusyk explained that RCMP will continue to investigate the incident and determine the next steps, including whether charges will be laid.

“We understand this situation may be concerning for families and appreciate your patience and cooperation as we work closely with RCMP to ensure the safety of everyone involved,” he added.

The principal said parents can expect further communication later today regarding school operations for Thursday.
