On Thursday afternoon, NorKam Secondary School in Kamloops was placed on lockdown after officials responded to a credible threat involving a possible weapon on campus. Eyewitness accounts reported seeing over twenty police cars arrive at the educational institution situated on Tranquille Road shortly after the lockdown signal was activated. Law enforcement personnel, some equipped with rifles, entered the facility while students and faculty stayed locked in their classrooms.
The Kamloops RCMP has confirmed that they are looking into a threat related to an active shooter, although there have been no reports of injuries at this time. Authorities have not revealed if any suspects have been arrested or if there is an imminent danger to students.
Law enforcement officials have advised the community to steer clear of the vicinity and to avoid spreading unverified information on social media platforms. Parents and guardians have been directed not to arrive at the school as the situation is still ongoing. Official updates will be communicated through authorized channels once it is considered safe to do so.
The lockdown remains in effect as officers continue to secure the area and evaluate the circumstances. Additional details will be shared as they become available.
