WILLIAMS LAKE – A middle school in the B.C. Interior was placed in a hold and secure after a teen allegedly injured a staff member before being stopped by others.
Williams Lake RCMP say they responded to Columneetza Junior Secondary School on Thursday when a 15-year-old reportedly hurt a staff member.
The teen was then apprehended by other staff, and police say they later took the suspect into custody.
Police say the school was also placed into a hold and secure temporarily as a precaution, but no other suspects appear to be involved in the case.
The investigation is ongoing, and the hold and secure has since been lifted.
Police say students and staff at the school are now safe, and there’s no indication of motive at this point.
