On May 6, 2022, just before noon the Kamloops RCMP and Police Dog Services responded to a
weapons complaint in the Valleyview area.

collaboration with School District 73 recommended and placed two nearby schools on a hold and
secure.There was no direct threat to either of the schools and the suspect was located and arrested.

The Kamloops RCMP would like to thank School District 73, students, and parents for their
understanding during the brief hold and secure.
