On March 24, 2009 at around 10:30am RCMP Selkirk received a report from Ecole Selkirk Junior High advising that a teacher had located a firearm in a student’s locker.
RCMP attended to the school and seized an air soft pistol that resembled a 9mm handgun. RCMP further discovered that the suspect student had also discharged the air soft pistol at another student the day previous outside of regular school hours.
RCMP Selkirk have charged a 12-year-old boy with possession of a weapon dangerous to the public peace and carrying a concealed weapon. The youth was released on a promise to appear and is scheduled to appear in Selkirk Provincial Court on April 24, 2009.
