Vernon Secondary School lock-down lifted after incident
VERNON — Emergency procedures were put in place at Vernon Secondary School this morning after a weapons related scare.
The school was put in a “lockdown” at 9 am when a nearby resident reported an individual entering the school with what appeared to be a weapon.
The RCMP was called, and after searching the building, a student with an air soft pistol — described as a BB gun by the school district — was located and was taken away to be interviewed by police.
The lockdown was lifted at 9:50 am, and classes returned to normal.
