Student Pulls Massive Knife On Other Teens At School Hallway

VANCOUVER - A hold-and-secure was put in place at Nanaimo District Secondary school Monday morning after an altercation between “several youths” in which a knife was produced, Nanaimo RCMP say.
A teacher called 911 to report the melee between several students and one non-student, where “a large knife was seen.”

No one was injured during the incident, and a teacher intervened before it could escalate any further.

The suspect fled, and the school was put under hold-and-secure because his whereabouts were unknown.

The school was under hold-and-secure, wherein the doors of a school are locked and students remain in their classrooms, for just under 15 minutes around 11 a.m.

After about half an hour, police found the 15-year-old suspect nearby and arrested him without incident.
