N.B. news: Threats incident at Riverview school Wednesday [Video]

A 34-year-old woman is expected to face charges for allegedly uttering threats towards a New Brunswick elementary school Wednesday morning.

Codiac RCMP Staff Sergeant Nick Arbour says police first received a call at 7:45 a.m. when a parent of one of the students made threats towards Riverview East School.

As a result, police were dispatched to the area and the school was placed into a hold-and-secure.

The Anglophone East School District says a hold-and-secure indicates that movement inside the building continues as usual, but no one is permitted to enter or exit the building.

Arbour says the suspect was arrested just before 9:30 a.m. away from school property.

However, after numerous photos were posted online that showed multiple officers with guns outside of the school, parents say they were given misinformation surrounding the entire situation.
