A 16-year-old boy is facing several criminal charges after police said he allegedly brought a weapon to school on Thursday morning.
Around 9:30 a.m. Ontario Provincial Police were called to Erin District High School.
Police said the suspect told other students that he had a weapon with him.
Students told staff about their concerns and the suspect was taken out of the classroom.
Provincial police say they found a 16-year-old with an "imitation firearm."
Police would not say whether the fake gun had the capacity to fire projectiles like pellets or BBs.
The teen was charged with carrying a concealed weapon, assault with intent to resist arrest, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, and uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm.
Police say he remains in custody. The investigation is ongoing.
