Georgian Bay District Secondary School was placed in lockdown Tuesday after a student entered the school with a water gun that looked like a handgun.
Southern Georgian Bay OPP officers were called to the school on Hugel Avenue in Midland at about 11:30 a.m. after a student was seen on surveillance video entering the school while holding “a pistol-shaped object,” police said in a news release.
The student was located in a classroom and was arrested. Police found a water gun that resembled a Sig Sauer handgun.
The investigation is continuing. The name of the student who was arrested is not being released, per the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
