Police say a north Winnipeg elementary school was put under a secure protocol Monday morning due to a weapons-related incident nearby.
Const. Dani McKinnon told 680 CJOB the incident happened at a home in the 600 block of Alfred Avenue around 7:30 a.m., and as a safety precaution, Strathcona School on neighbouring McKenzie Street was secured.
“Due to proximity of that school, police quickly advised them and it was put into a secure protocol,” McKinnon said.
