CASE# 2012-3917
POLICE RESPOND TO ST. JOSEPH'S HIGH SCHOOL FOR FIREARM CALL - DEEMED UNFOUNDED
On Thursday January 17, 2013 shortly before 11:00 a.m. Windsor Police responded to a report of a student possibly in possession of a gun at St. Joseph's High School in the 2400 block of Clover Avenue. School officials placed the school under a temporary lockdown while police conducted an investigation. No gun was ever located. Officers have learned that the allegation regarding the student with a firearm was started by another St. Joseph's student who later admitted the allegation was false.
Police have learned that a grade 9 student at St. Joseph's High School was involved in a physical altercation with a student from another school. This altercation occurred at St. Joseph's School on January 16, 2013. The boy from St. Joseph's was suspended because he was involved in a fight. He was granted special permission to return to school today to write an E.Q.A.O test. Meanwhile another student at St. Joseph's fabricated a rumour about the suspended boy saying that he heard him say he had a gun and was going to come to school with it. The rumour made its way around and eventually a concerned parent of a student at St. Joseph's school notified police and the school about the allegation.
The boy who has admitted to starting the rumour could face criminal charges and also faces disciplinary action from the school.
Parents and students are reminded to contact Police whenever they hear of concerning information that could be potentially serious.
