North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP responded to a report of a man pointing a firearm near the Quw’utsun Secondary School.
On January 9, 2025, at approximately 9:15 am the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP received a report of a man pointing a firearm in Kin Park, adjacent to the Quw’utsun Secondary School. This report prompted a large Police response and containment of the area, as well as a hold and secure of the high school.
Officers conducted a sweep of the school to ensure the safety of all involved and began an investigation to locate CCTV or additional witnesses. Students from the high school later came forward, admitting that they were filming a project at school and while using a wooden stick, they mimicked the act of shooting. No firearms were involved in this incident. Investigators are very grateful that these students came forward, proving a clear resolution to this investigation.
