Hold and secure lifted at south Edmonton school

Feb 12, 2019 | 7:22 AM

A “hold and secure” that was implemented at a school south of Edmonton has been lifted after police investigated threats that were made on social media.

R-C-M-P say they responded to a report Monday afternoon of threats at Father Leduc Elementary School.

They say a student found a threatening Snapchat post concerning the safety of the school, and a school staff member was told right away.

Police say one person has been taken into custody and there’s no concern for public safety.
