WINNIPEG – A teen is facing weapons charges after police allege he brought a handgun, ammunition and knives to a school in southern Manitoba.
Officers were told Wednesday morning that a youth had a firearm and was heading to the school in a small community south of Winnipeg.
RCMP say staff located the boy on school property and he handed over the weapons without any force.
Police seized an unloaded handgun, a loaded magazine, additional loose ammunition and knives.
The boy is facing several charges, including possession of a weapon for dangerous purposes, unauthorized possession of a firearm and possession of a weapon obtained by crime.
Police say the boy, who can’t be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, remains in custody and an investigation is ongoing.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published April 23, 2026.
