Multiple police officers responded to the area of Wawn and Westsyde roads this morning in response to a suspected weapons report.
On Sept. 28, 2023, around 11:11 a.m., Kamloops RCMP frontline officers received a third-party report of a man walking with what appeared to be a firearm, on Wawn Road. Officers attended and conducted patrols as part of the investigation.
Several area schools were briefly placed in a hold and secure by the school district on recommendation by the police, out of an abundance of caution, said Corporal Crystal Evelyn, Kamloops RCMP spokesperson.
