Hay School in Stettler.<\/p>\n<p>Officers quickly began to investigate and got evidence to support an arrest. <\/p>\n<p>The youth suspect was arrested and is in custody, with charges pending for uttering threats. <\/p>\n<p>Police say the suspect will be taken before a Justice of the Peace to determine future court dates and to determine release status. <\/p>\n<p>Although RCMP don\u2019t believe there is an ongoing risk to students and staff, the Stettler RCMP School Resource Officer and Detachment are currently working with the school. Out of an abundance of caution, there will also be an ongoing police presence. <\/p>\n<p>Anyone with information about this crime is asked to call Stettler RCMP at 403-742-3381 or submit an anonymous tip through CrimeStoppers. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An east-central Alberta teen is in police custody after allegedly threatening to shoot students at their high school.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":608614,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194294],"tags":[49,48,23752],"class_list":{"0":"post-608613","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-edmonton","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-edmonton"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/608613","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=608613"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/608613\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/608614"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=608613"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=608613"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=608613"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
