Winnipeg police confirmed to CTV News on Monday that officers arrived at Sturgeon Heights Collegiate around 12:30 p.m. Police said this was in response to several people involved in a fight, including an adult male. “Bear spray was reportedly used in the attack with three people suffering from the effects,” police said in an email to CTV News. “(A) ambulance was not required and several of those involved are facing charges.” Const. Claude Chancy, a WPS public information officer, said at this point police are unable to confirm if the adult is among those facing charges. Police said it appears that man was the only adult involved. Police said the investigation is in its early stages and more details are expected to be released in the coming days. Police said the school does not require lockdown protocols. The School Directorate of St. James Assiniboia confirmed that there was an altercation between individuals, but added that the incident did not disrupt any classes. “Student safety and security continues to be a top priority for school and department leaders,” a department spokesperson said in a statement. “We remain in contact with the Winnipeg Police Service (WPS) as their investigation continues.”
