Investigation Into Potential Threat to Kainai High School

On October 14, 2018, the Blood Tribe Police Service (BTPS) received information of a potential threat to the Kainai High School. The BTPS initiated an investigation into this matter and have taken a 17-year-old person into custody.
 
Subsequent investigation determined that the threat was not credible, however, there was sufficient evidence to proceed with Public Mischief charges pursuant to section 149 of the Criminal Code. 
 
No name will be released due to the person's age pursuant to the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
 
In an abundance of caution, the Kainai Board of Education has decided to close the Kainai High School and the nearby Middle School for Monday, October 15, 2018.
