Reports claim that the suspect had previously been caught bringing a knife into the school and was suspended as a result. However, parents were allegedly misled about the incident, with Pender denying the seriousness of the situation in a letter sent to families.
Allegations of a Cover-Up
It is claimed that following the suspect’s initial suspension, the school informed parents that the police presence on-site was merely for an “educational” visit—downplaying concerns that a dangerous weapon had been found on school grounds.
