Two students face multiple charges in threats against Thunder Bay school
Two local students were behind a string of threats that promoted authorities to shut down a high school in northwest Ontario more than a dozen times, police alleged Thursday.
Det. Insp. Ryan Hughes of the Thunder Bay Police Service said an 18-year-old female student and a 14-year-old boy have been arrested in connection with the alleged incidents targeting Hammarskjold High School in Thunder Bay, Ont.
He said the pair face a total of 14 charges between them, although he said officers believe the two were working entirely apart from one another.
The multiple arrests, Hughes said, came as a surprise to local investigators.
