A 17-year-old boy is facing charges after a gun scare forced a lockdown at a London high school.
Police were called to Sir Frederick Banting Secondary School over the noon hour on Monday, after reports that a fight between two youths saw one of them pull out a gun. The school was placed on lockdown as a precaution. Police say, when officers arrived, the teens had already left the area.
Investigators determined that it was a pellet gun.
Around 4:30pm, police arrested a 17-year-old boy. He is charged possession of an imitation weapon for a dangerous purpose and breach of recognizance.
His name can't be released because of his age.
