Peel Regional Police say a teenage boy is facing charges after allegedly bringing a replica firearm to a Brampton school.
On Thursday morning, police said they responded to Harold M. Brathwaite Secondary School for a weapons-related incident.
Officers arrested a teenager inside the school and a BB gun was seized, police said.
No injuries were reported at the school. The school went into a hold-and-secure for a short period of time on Thursday.
A 14-year-old boy has been charged with possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.
Police said the teen was released with conditions and is expected to appear in court at a later date.
“At this time, investigators believe this to be an isolated event. There is no evidence to suggest that this is related to any other recent school incidents,” police said after several Peel Region schools have recently faced online threats.
