The West Shore RCMP says there is no longer a security risk to a French immersion school in Colwood Thursday.
The report added that the men were pointing the gun towards some trees before they stepped out of their vehicle and walked towards a wooded area. On Thursday afternoon, the Sooke School District warned families that a lockdown was in effect at École John Stubbs Memorial School, which has students from kindergarten to Grade 8.
