williams lake courthouse locked down friday afternoon

Williams Lake RCMP were kept busy friday afternoon.

Staff Sargeant Del Byron says they were called by the BC Sheriff’s office just after 12 noon when a man uttered a threat inside the Government Building.

He was heard threatening to go home, return with a gun and shoot  everyone. .

After the man had exited the building,  the RCMP along with the BC Sheriff’s office did a lock down of the courthouse to do a full sweep of the facility.

The man was caught later on that afternoon, held over the weekend at the RCMP Detatchment and will appear in court sometime today.
