Manitoba RCMP have laid charges after they say a student pulled out a gun and pointed it at another student at Fisher Branch Collegiate.
Police were called to the high school in Fisher Branch Thursday, but say the incident happened Wednesday.
The suspect was later arrested at his home.
Police say the suspect — described only as a “youth” in an RCMP media release — was in possession of a loaded firearm, ammunition and bear spray at the time of his arrest.
