A Kitchener teen is facing numerous charges after a gun was fired outside of a high school on Friday afternoon, according to Waterloo Regional Police.
Police say officers were called to St. Mary’s High School on Block Line Road at around 2 p.m. after someone reported hearing gunfire.
When the officers reached the scene, police say their investigation showed that someone had fired a gun in the air during an argument outside of the school.
It was also soon discovered that blanks were fired.
Police believe it was a targeted incident but schools in the area were put on a hold-and-secure as officers conducted an investigation.
The following day, police say officers arrested a teen in connection with the shooting and laid several weapons charges, including assault with a weapon.
