Police lock down Dartmouth school after bogus weapons call

DARTMOUTH – A Dartmouth high school was on lockdown for about a half- hour Thursday after receiving a call about a student with a weapon inside the school.

Halifax Regional Police say Prince Andrew High School received an anonymous call around 11 a. m., about a specific student in the school allegedly armed with a weapon.

Const. Pierre Bourdages said the school went into lockdown and police were called. He said officers found the student at his home and police do not believe he had a weapon.
