On Tuesday, February 22nd, 2022, at about 2:00 p.m., Hanover Police officers responded to the John Diefenbaker Senior School on 18th Avenue following an unconfirmed, third-hand report of a student possibly in possession of a handgun. A ‘hold & secure’ was initiated for the safety of students and staff while attending officers conducted an immediate assessment and investigation of the claim.
Within an hour, HPS officers located and seized a pellet pistol and arrested at 14-year-old youth on a charge of ‘Possession of a Weapon Dangerous to the Public Peace’. While the investigation remains ongoing, initial indications suggest the weapon was not fired at anyone nor was anyone threatened with it.
At South Grey News, we endeavour to bring you truthful and factual, up-to-date local community news in a quick and easy-to-digest format that’s free of political bias. We believe this service is more important today than ever before, as social media has given rise to misinformation, largely unchecked by big corporations who put profits ahead of their responsibilities.
South Grey News does not have the resources of a big corporation. We are a small, locally owned-and-operated organization. Research, analysis and physical attendance at public meetings and community events requires considerable effort. But contributions from readers and advertisers, however big or small, go a long way to helping us deliver positive, open and honest journalism for this community.
Please consider supporting South Grey News with a donation in lieu of a subscription fee and let us know that our efforts are appreciated. Thank you.
