Regina schools cleared after bear spray report

A lockdown at Miller Comprehensive Catholic High School and restrictions at four other Regina schools have now been lifted after police received a complaint about bear spray.

Regina Police Service (RPS) said in a news release around 3:45 p.m. that the schools had been cleared but the investigation was ongoing.

Earlier, RPS said they received a report around 1:10 pm that two students were being chased by two or three people who were threatening to assault them with bear spray.

The caller told police the suspects were in the area of Miller Comprehensive Catholic High School, and that they may have entered the school, which is why it was put into lockdown.

Balfour Collegiate, St. Augustine School, St. Faustina School and Thompson School all secured their buildings while officers were searching for the suspects.
