A man on the west coast has been arrested after it was reported to Corner Brook RCMP through an unusual source that threats had been made of a possible school shooting. A specific school or location was not identified.

Information was received from an online gaming company reporting that one of the gamers had made threats during a live chat. Interpol conveyed information on the threat to the RCMP.

The investigation revealed 31-year-old Maxwell Fillatre, from Boom Siding near Pasadena, as the source of the threats.

He was held overnight for court today.
