UMB Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Today at Earl Marriott School some kid was arrested because another kid saw him waving a gun around in school. The school had an emergency lock down as the RCMP zeroed in on the kid and arrested him. Turns out it was just an airsoft gun.... http://www.vancouver...6089/story.html Here's what it says on the EMS website Dear Parent / Guardian, I want to inform you of an incident that occurred at our school today just before dismissal that involved police. It was resolved quickly and safely and demonstrated how well school emergency protocols work. Some students at the smoke pit behind our school reported to the office someone was seen showing-off what appeared to be a handgun. The students reported this promptly to our office and police were notified. Our school entered a “Code Red”, which is essentially a full lock-down so nobody could leave or enter the building. Police quickly apprehended a suspect in the neighbourhood and our information is he had a pellet gun in his possession. There was never a direct threat to the safety of our staff or students. I am proud of the quick and proper response by the students, our staff and the RCMP. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me at the school. Sincerely, Peter Johnston Principal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's Wellwood Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 My high school never had a code red. I think we did once have a code yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManUtd Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Same thing happened in Chilliwack a few years ago. Although I'm pretty sure the guy actually shot some a couple people with it. I don't really know the details that well. Was out of the country at the time and it had pretty much blown over when I got back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

believe in blue forever Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 We had a code red once but it was actually a gas leak or something across the street Once we had a bomb threat and had to stand out on the field for 2 hours..........on the bright side got to miss a math test.
