A student has been arrested after a Tuesday incident at\nAurora High School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
York Regional Police say a male student was apprehended\nfollowing a report that he was in a possession of a gun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe responded to a weapons call at Aurora High School\nthis afternoon,\u201d confirmed Constable Andy Pattenden. \u201cWe received a report that\nthere was a student at the school who was believed to have a gun. When officers\narrived, the school was placed on lockdown. The student was located by officers\noutside the school, but still on school property. He was placed under arrest\nand no gun located.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFurther investigation led officers to a residence nearby\nthe school. With the assistance of officers with our Emergency Response Unit,\nthe occupants of the home were ordered out and taken into custody. A gun was\nlocated inside the house.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The York Region District School Board said Aurora High\nSchool (AHS) was placed in a lockdown situation from 1.40 \u2013 1.55 p.m., and,\nafter the lockdown was lifted, the school went into a hold and secure\nprecaution until approximately 2.30 p.m. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThank you to all of our students and staff today who\nacted calmly and followed our lockdown protocol and turned off their cell\nphones,\u201d said AHS Principal George Voumvakis in a letter to the school\ncommunity. \u201cThis helps to keep everyone in our buildings safe during a lockdown\nand prevents information being shared that could compromise police\ninvestigations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSupports will be available at the school tomorrow for any students who wish to access them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
