Gun call triggers hold and secure at Gordon Bell

Gordon Bell High School was put under a hold and secure as police responded to a report of a person with a gun in the area on Tuesday.

At around 11 a.m. police were called to Honeyman Avenue and Broadway after a call for a male youth “walking with what was believed to be a gun,” said Winnipeg Police Service Const. Claude Chancy, in an email.

Police notified officials at the nearby school at around 11:15 a.m. triggering safety protocols, said a letter sent to the school community.

Officers searched the area, but turned up nothing, determining there was no threat to public safety, said Chancy, with police giving the all clear at about 11:40 a.m.

Classes continued as normal at the school.
