Saunders Secondary School was put on alert Thursday afternoon after police searched for an armed suspect involved in a fight.

Const. Sandasha Bough said police were called after a fight that broke out outside the school about 12:10 p.m.

A source says one student was stabbed in the incident.

One youth suffered minor injuries and police were searching for a 17-year-old youth who may have been armed with a weapon.

The school was put on “yellow alert,” which restricts anyone from entering the building. Staff and students were allowed to leave and move around inside the school.
