PRINCE GEORGE — Prince George RCMP has investigated a threat made at Prince George Secondary School, who found it not to be credible.

Yesterday (Wed) after school, an altercation occurred between students off school property. During the incident, a concerning remark was made about bringing a weapon to school today (Thurs).

Administration and district staff were immediately notified and contacted the RCMP. Mounties followed up with the people involved and have confirmed that there is no access to weapons and no credible threat to students or staff.

Police officers were positioned outside of the school as a precaution and to help reassure students and staff as they arrived to school Thursday morning.

“We want to assure the public that all threat reports will get the full attention of the School District and the RCMP and will be taken seriously. We also want to remind students that there is no room for jokingly making these sorts of comments to other students or online,” says Sergeant Craig Douglass, head of the Community Policing Unit with Prince George RCMP.

Police have spoken with all those determined to be involved. This investigation is now closed.
