Lockdown at Westwood School turns out to be "false alarm"

A lockdown at Westwood Elementary School yesterday turned out to be a false alarm.

 

Members of the Thompson RCMP Detachment, Thompson Rural Detachment, General Investigation Section and North District Major Crime Unit were called to a lock down at the school yesterday before noon.

 

Now knowing whether the alarm was legitimate or not, RCMP had to assume it was and completed a thorough search of the school.

The school was deemed safe, and it was later determined to be a false alarm.

 

Police say the swift response by police and school staff confirms that the process put in place to respond to a school lockdown works.
