Students safe, suspect in custody after ‘disturbance’ at Airdrie school

Few details are available from police, but Airdrie RCMP say everyone is safe after a disturbance at Muriel Clayton Middle School on Thursday morning.

According to police, a man went into the school at around 9 a.m. and yelled at a student. Shortly after, he reportedly ran from the school property.

Staff implemented a “hold and secure” and called police.

Police were quickly able to identify the suspect and take him into custody.
