‘A number’ of guns seized after youth threatens to ’cause harm’ at Ontario school: police

“A number” of guns were seized after a youth threatened to “cause harm” at an Ontario school, police say.

York Regional Police said that last Wednesday (Dec. 18), officers went to a secondary school in York Region after a young person “threatened to bring a firearm and cause harm at the school.”

A search warrant was executed at the suspect’s home and “a number of firearms were seized,” police allege.

Officers didn’t name the school involved in the alleged incident.

A male youth has since been charged with uttering threats and possession of a restricted firearm without a licence.
