A sign posted on the outside of the school reports the school is in hold-and-secure.

Kamloops RCMP has yet to comment on the situation.

A CFJC Today crew at the scene reports several police vehicles outside the school, but no areas cordoned off and no appearance of a state of high alert.

We’ll bring you more information when it becomes available.
