An anonymous report of a gun at Langley Secondary led to a lockdown on Monday morning, the second since last November.

Withing two hours, police had scoured the school and failed to turn up any sign of a gun. Police weren’t certain whether the call was a false report or a mistake by the caller.

During the incident, students were kept in classes while police tried to reassure parents during the second lockdown in three months.

“There have been no reports of shots fired, or of any injuries,” said Langley RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Holly Marks. “Additionally, we are not aware of any direct threat to a student or staff member.”

RCMP armed with shotguns were posted outside and others scoured the school itself. A large number of officers was called in during the incident.

“All available police officers are working on this right now, as well as Surrey RCMP detachment members,” Marks said. “The Police Dog Services integrated team is already at the school, assisting with this investigation.”

She also noted the regional Emergency Response Team (ERT) was on standby if needed.

The Langley RCMP Serious Crime section was conducting the investigation.

Parents of students were asked not to go to the school, but police, Victim Services, and school board representatives were gathered at nearby Twin Rinks at 56th Avenue and the Langley Bypass to answer questions.

During the last incident, some parents in a nearby parking lot argued with police about getting into closed off areas.

On Monday, people using walking trails at McLeod Athletic Park were pushed back during the middle of the lockdown as police expanded their perimeter.

The last lockdown at LSS was in November last year, and was sparked when a student brought a cap gun to school. The gun was mistaken for real and a large number of police responded. The student was not charged, as he did not intend to threaten anyone.
