On Monday, May 26th, 2025, just before 2:00 p.m., Delta Police received a report of a possible planned fight in the area of Seaquam Secondary School. 5 youth males were observed wearing ski masks on school property who fled when observed by school staff.
Shortly afterwards, a Delta Police member observed a group of youth in the area. One of the males was seen discarding a weapon before fleeing from police.
Due to the possibility of a weapon, Seaquam Secondary School and Cougar Canyon Elementary were placed into a hold and secure until police could determine the nature of the incident. The schools have since been released from the hold and secure, and a coordinated release of the students took place.
A K-9 search of the area located an airsoft pistol in the bushes.
Delta Optimist reported that this was the second time in a few days that police and school officials have been involved in investigating possible planned flights between students. In an email notice to parents from Seaquam Secondary School, a school official said on Saturday night (May 24) that they had received word from Delta police that there may be a number of students from the school who may have planned, or planning to attend, a physical fight later that evening around Delta Secondary School and near the May Days festival grounds in Memorial Park.
