UPDATE: Secure-the-building at Regina's F.W. Johnson Collegiate ends

The ‘secure-the-building’ protocol enacted at F.W. Johnson Collegiate in east Regina has ended.

Police enacted the protocol around 10:15 a.m. Thursday after someone made a verbal comment that was interpreted as a potential threat. The comment was rather vague, but it was taken seriously by school administration and police.

Officers identified and found the individual who allegedly made the comment.

The ‘secure-the-building’ protocol was lifted around 2:30 p.m.

Officers remained at the school until everyone was dismissed for the day.

Police said the investigation into this matter continues. No word on if the individual will face any charges.
