A teen who brought a BB gun to a local high school was arrested and is heading to court.

A weapons complaint prompted a hold-and-secure at Vernon Secondary School Thursday, Feb. 15, around 12:40 p.m.

RCMP were called to the school after staff received information that a person in the parking lot of the school had a firearm.

Witnesses told staff the person had left in a vehicle and to ensure the safety of the school and students, administrators initiated a hold and secure and called police.

Police quickly identified the suspect, an 18-year-old, who was arrested without incident at another location and determined the suspected firearm was a BB gun.
