US EditionYouth Arrested for Allegedly Making Bomb Threats Toward Fredericton Schools
Seven schools in Fredericton and Moncton were closed due to police investigations into threats; all remain closed for the day as authorities ensure safety.
- Tuesday, police in Fredericton and Moncton closed seven schools while investigating alleged threats, according to the Fredericton Police Force, RCMP in Moncton, and Anglophone West School District.
- Threat reports prompted evacuations and bus rerouting as Randolph J. MacLean, Anglophone East School District superintendent, said the Moncton school closed after the receipt of a concerning message and police redirected buses to designated evacuation locations.
- By 10:40 a.m., Fredericton Police Force reported all five evacuated schools were deemed safe but remained closed, with students sent to Bliss Carman Middle School, Gibson-Neill Memorial Elementary, and other sites.
- All affected schools will remain closed for the rest of the day; families were asked to stay away, avoid emergency lines, and district staff contacted every family with Grade 6 or younger students to confirm pickup plans at Lewisville Church.
- Anglophone West said investigators are continuing to probe what it described as an 'emergency situation,' and it remained unclear whether Arnold H. McLeod School and Assiniboine Avenue Elementary School were now considered safe.
