Two men are in custody after a hand gun was brandished outside of Merritt Secondary School.

On June 20, 2022, at 3:08pm Merritt RCMP Front Line Officers attended Merritt Secondary School for a report that a man had brandished a hand gun outside of Merritt Secondary School. The school immediately went into lockdown. Officers were able to quickly locate and arrest two suspects outside of the school. 

"We recognize how terrifying an incident like this is for all involved, including parents" says Sgt. Josh Roda. "Please be assured we put our children's lives above all else and will do everything we can to keep them safe."

Both suspects are currently being held in custody pending further investigation.
