Shortly after 1 pm on Tuesday, June 7th, 2022, the Vernon North Okanagan RCMP responded to a weapons complaint on Fulton Road in Vernon.  Due to the nature of the call, police, in collaboration with School District 22 officials initiated a hold and secure at nearby elementary and secondary schools. Police immediately attended the area to support the safety measures and to conduct an investigation into the report. As additional information became available, and after police determined there was no direct threat to the safety of the students, the hold and secure was lifted and normal activities resumed.
