Two teenaged boys are facing charges after an incident that prompted a high school in east Regina to lock its doors.
F.W. Johnson Collegiate was put in “secure-the-building” mode after police were notified of the potential threat around 10:15 a.m. Thursday.
The security protocol was lifted around 2:30 p.m. after police identified and located the person who allegedly made the threatening comment. Police say they later found two teenaged boys in possession of “bladed weapons.”
A 15-year-old boy has been charged with concealing a weapon and uttering threats, while a 16-year-old boy faces charges of public mischief and possession of a weapon.
The two youths, who cannot be named, are scheduled to make their first court appearance Dec. 8.
