Teen arrested in Montreal college lockdown.
Why is this happening again in the Montreal area?
"The teen, who is not a student at the college, confessed to posting threats in a chatroom after police indicated they would search his house for weapons, said Const. Lynne Labelle.
The threats were posted online against students and teachers at the CÉGEP du Vieux Montréal, prompting police to shut down the downtown college early Tuesday morning.
Classes and activities were cancelled at the post-secondary institution, affecting more than 9,000 students and 700 staff.
An internet surfer in Ohio flagged the threats for local authorities at some point Monday night after allegedly chatting with a suspect, Labelle said."
To that person in Ohio - thank you for doing the right thing.
