Police seeking suspects after gun call at Saskatoon high school

Saskatoon police are investigating after an incident involving a gun and bear spray at a Saskatoon high school on Monday.

In a media release, police said officers were called to the school in the 2200 block of Rusholme Road at about 2:30 p.m. The release didn’t identify the school, but Mount Royal Collegiate is in that block of Rusholme.
