A lockdown at F.W. Johnson Collegiate has been lifted with everyone safe, according to the Regina Police Service (RPS). RPS said a 13-year-old girl was arrested as part of the investigation. Police seized an airsoft gun that looked like a long barrelled assault rifle. “We received a call at about 9:15 a.m. of a firearm in the school, our officers immediately responded and a lockdown was enacted,” RPS Deputy Chief Lorilee Davies said in a video posted to social media. Davies said there are no reports that shots were fired or that anyone was injured. The investigation is continuing. Davies said more information about charges will be provided later. The high school was placed into lockdown mode on Friday morning. Several police officers and vehicles responded to the school. Six nearby elementary schools were also put into a “secure the building mode” as a precaution. Those schools were: St. Theresa School, Judge Bryant School, Dr. George Ferguson School, St. Catherine Community School, Glen Elm Community School and Henry Braun School.
