Halifax-area school goes into lockdown after fight
CTV
Bedford, N.S., school went into lockdown after a fight on Thursday.
The video shows a group of people, shouting at first, then two start fighting.
“It’s shocking, it’s horrific, it’s a really violent incident,” says Ryan Lutes, Nova Scotia Teacher’s Union President,
That incident took place during lunch hour Thursday at Rocky Lake Junior High School in Bedford, N.S. Allegedly, people who were not students were able to get into the school’s lobby.
A letter sent to parents yesterday by Principal David Reed seemed to downplay the altercation. Today, another letter home took a more serious tone.
“The individuals who entered the school were able to do so as the doors were opening and closing as students moved around throughout their lunch hour. The exterior doors to our building are locked throughout the school day.”
Reed says the incident was an isolated one between specific individuals.
The president of the NSTU would like to see the province step up security measures at schools.
