LETHBRIDGE, AB — An 18-year-old man has been charged after suspicious social media posts referencing Chinook High School were made on Monday.

Police received multiple reports of photos posted on Snapchat Monday night. One post showed a firearm lying on a package of cigarettes, while the second showed a case of bullets.

Both posts had Chinook High School written across them.

The school was notified about the posts early Tuesday morning, and multiple officers were deployed to the school to ensure student safety. Shortly before 8:30 a.m., a 18-year-old male student was taken into custody at the school without incident and interviewed in relation to the posts.

Investigators determined there was no intent to cause harm, and the student apologized for the posts.
