February 25, 2014, Cambridge, Nova Scotia . . . Kings District RCMP is currently investigating a threat received by a student at the Central Kings Rural High School (CKRHS).

At approximately 11:55 a.m., Kings District RCMP received a report that a student at the CKRHS had received a threatening text from another person. As a precaution, the CKRHS and the adjacent Cambridge Elementary school were immediately locked down by school officials. RCMP have several resources at the schools and a Police Service dog is assisting with the investigation. Police do not believe the suspect(s) ever entered the school property.
