STETTLER – A youth has been arrested after police say threats were made over social media to shoot students at a high school in central Alberta.
RCMP say they received reports Wednesday night about the threats over the messaging app Snapchat involving the school in Stettler, east of Red Deer.
Mounties say they quickly began an investigation.
They say a youth is in custody and that a charge of uttering threats is pending.
RCMP didn’t say whether the suspect is a student at the school and didn’t immediately respond to a request for further details.
They say they don’t believe there’s an ongoing risk for students but there will be an ongoing police presence at the school out of an abundance of caution.
