A series of messages hinting at a planned school shooting in Williams Lake yesterday were nothing more than a prank attempt, according to RCMP.
Early yesterday morning, students of Lake City Secondary School began receiving threats of the shooting via Snapchat.
Messages sent out over the app warned students not to come to school, and included a picture of two firearms.
Upon investigation, it was determined that two young boys were responsible for the threats, sent from a fake account in a third boy’s name.
While the boys did commit a criminal offence, RCMP decided to leave disciplining them in the hands of their parents and the school.
