A teacher was the victim of a shooting on Riverview High School property Tuesday, the school says.
In a letter posted on its website Wednesday night and attributed to RHS staff, the school refers to an incident that occurred just after 5 p.m. and resulted in a serious but non-life-threatening injury. The victims of this violence are teachers here at Riverview High School, the letter states. Although only one teacher was injured, other teachers were there as it happened or helped respond while waiting for emergency services.

The New Brunswick RCMP confirmed via Twitter at 9:37 a.m. that the suspect s abandoned vehicle had been found in Amherst, N.S. But it wasn t until 11:10 a.m. that the Nova Scotia RCMP said in a tweet that it had requested a public alert from the province s Emergency Management Office.
An Alert Ready text, sent via TV, radio and wireless devices, wasn t transmitted until 11:42 a.m.
Tim Houston, leader of Nova Scotia s Opposition Progressive Conservatives, said that wasn t good enough. If the Emergency Management Office can t be proactive or timely with emergency alerts, that entire department is in need of an overhaul, he said in a tweet.
