A male youth is in custody after allegedly arriving at Green Valley School in Grunthal armed with a handgun, a loaded magazine, loose ammunition, and knives.
St. Pierre-Jolys RCMP were notified around 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday that a youth was heading to Green Valley School with a firearm. Officers responded immediately and alerted school staff, who located the teen on school property and convinced him to hand over the weapons without incident.
Police arrested the youth upon arrival and seized the weapons. He is charged with possession of a weapon for dangerous purposes, carrying a concealed weapon, unauthorized possession of a firearm, possession of a restricted or prohibited weapon, and possession of a weapon obtained by crime.
RCMP are not disclosing the teen’s age, citing the small size of the community and the risk of identification. The investigation is ongoing.
