Breaking News: Williams Lake Tribune

Williams Lake Tribune website is reporting at 9:18am this morning that a shotgun blast went through a high school window. It does not say whether it was at Columneetza or Williams Lake Secondary though. If/when more information becomes available, I will publish it

UPDATE, at 9:32am:

Someone used a shotgun to fire through a window at Williams Lake Secondary School around midnight Thursday night.

The Williams Lake RCMP say a resident living near the school alerted RCMP to a suspicious noise and person at the school.

Principal Mark Thiessen says there was no one in the school at the time.

When police arrived, investigators determined that a shotgun bullet was fired through a front window and metal window covering of the school.

A person was seen running from the area and four other people were seen in the vicinity. RCMP say it's unclear if the four people were involved with the person running away.

The police are asking anyone with information on the incident to phone the RCMP, attend the detachment in person, or phone anonymously by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
