A youth has been remanded in custody following a threat with a fire arm at Ebb and Flow School.

On Oct. 7, at approximately 11 a.m., Ste. Rose du Lac RCMP were dispatched to a report of a youth pointing a firearm at the school.

Officers responded immediately and were advised by a faculty member that a male youth, who was not a student at the school, had pointed a firearm at another student and then left the school grounds.

No one was injured in the incident, but the school went into lockdown as a precautionary measure.

Police were directed to the residence where it was believed the suspect may have came from.

When they arrived, the homeowner advised that the suspect did go to the school and had returned, but had since left again.

Police seized an air soft gun that was believed to be used in the incident.

A short time later the suspect turned himself in at the Ste. Rose du Lac detachment.

The 15-year-old was remanded until his court appearance on charges of uttering threats against a person, pointing a firearm, uttering threats to property and two counts of possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.

Ste. Rose du Lac RCMP continue to investigate.
