    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    Charges Upgraded

    (CLEARVIEW TOWNSHIP, ON) – Police have upgraded charges against an arrested individual in a Collingwood school threat investigation.

    On September 11, 2024, the Collingwood and Blue Mountains Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) received a report about a potential threat to Collingwood Collegiate Institute (CCI) by a former student. It was discovered that the threat was made in March 2024 and was not imminent. However, as the OPP takes all threats to public safety seriously, an investigation began under the Huronia West OPP Crime Unit and later under the direction of the OPP Criminal Investigation Branch (CIB).

    Following the two arrests on September 11, 2024, a search warrant of an electronic device revealed additional details, which would indicate that the plan to harm students was elaborate and well-researched.

    As a result of further investigation, the charges for Jordan YOUNG, 19 years of age from Clearview Township, have been upgraded to the following offences as per the Criminal Code:

    • Attempted murder, as per section 239
    • Attempt to commit an assault with a weapon, as per section 267(a)
    • Possession of a firearm, section 91(1) – two counts
    • Possession of a prohibited device, section 92(2) – three counts
    • Careless storage of a firearm, as per section 86(1) – two counts
    • Unlawful possession of ammunition, as per section 86(1) – three counts
    • Weapons dangerous, as per section 88 – three counts
    • Possession a prohibited device for a purpose dangerous to the public peace, as per section 88 – three counts

    The accused remains in custody and is scheduled to appear on January 20, 2025, at the Ontario Court of Justice in Barrie.

    Police are working with the Simcoe County District School Board and administrative staff at CCI to provide victim support.

    The investigation is continuing under the direction of the OPP CIB. Investigators are urging anyone with information to contact the OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or report anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or online at ontariocrimestoppers.ca.

    QUOTE

    “Thank you to everyone who provided information about this threat. Your actions have helped protect students and staff from potential harm. The upgraded charges show the magnitude and seriousness of this investigation. Though the charges have been upgraded, this investigation remains ongoing and we urge anyone with additional information to contact the OPP.”

    – Detective Inspector Sean Chatland, OPP CIB

    VIDEO: 張哲瀚Zhang Zhehan 紀錄片《八月》

    《八月》是中國演員張哲瀚首次擔任導演的紀錄片,2024年4月14日上線。 該片記錄了張哲瀚在2021年8月突遇網路風暴,演藝人生頃刻被顛倒後的一次自我療愈之旅。 當舞臺與燈光不再,當事業與生活被網路上的不實資訊和惡意扭曲震碎,張哲瀚選擇在兩年後的8月,以自己熱愛的方式向著真實的世界重新出發。從香格里拉到拉薩的騎行之路上,他遇見雪山和冰川,遇見草木牛羊,遇見許多個普通而動人的面孔;他傾聽天地之聲,傾聽陌生人的故事,也傾聽內心的痛和愛。 曾經的8月還未終結,以後的8月依然會來。而這一個《八月》意義非常。 #zhangzhehan_super3 #張哲瀚 #張哲瀚八月 #紀錄片八月 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLwMG6XoJ34&t=11s
