Two youths arrested, school locked down after threats, bear spray incident

Archbishop M.C. O’Neill High School was placed into “secure-the-building mode” Tuesday morning after online threats were made, Regina police said.

According to police, a school on Argyle Street North — identified as O’Neill by a Regina Catholic School Division spokesperson — was locked down as a precaution due to online threats that were made after an altercation took place over the lunch hour Monday.

During that incident, police said a male victim was sprayed with bear spray while off school grounds.

Two youths were arrested Tuesday morning in response to the altercation and the threats, police said. The precautions at the school were lifted just after 11 a.m.
