Calgary teen charged after James Fowler High School lockdown
A 17-year-old Calgary teen is facing charges in connection with a lockdown at James Fowler High School.
Police were called to the school, located in the 4000 block of Fourth Street N.W., at 12:35 p.m. on June 3 after a teen entered the building with a gun.
Investigators say it was a 15-year-old girl who called 911 to report the incident.
'Prior to the 911 call, it is believed the male and female had a brief verbal altercation off school property, and it was reported that the male entered the school with a firearm, resulting in a lockdown,' police explained in a Thursday news release.
Both teens were students at the school.
Arriving officers determined the suspect was no longer in the school and not a threat to those inside.
Despite this, officers worked to search each room of the school and ensure it was safe.
The lockdown is believed to have lasted approximately two hours.
The teen taken into custody – who cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act – is charged with possession of a weapon dangerous to the public mischief and carrying a concealed weapon.
He is scheduled to appear in court next on June 27.
