Alberta Teen Held after Newtown-Shooting Copycat Threat
Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada
An 18-year old Albert man made threats on Facebook that mentioned the Sandy Hook Elementary School attack, and was classified by Alberta police as "disturbing".
It’s the second time that a young person has made threats aimed at an Alberta school.
Last week, a 17-year-old student at Ponoka Composite High School made threats. That boy was arrested in possession of two rifles and ammunition.

Student Injured in Stabbing at Brampton High School
Toronto, Canada
It didn’t take long for the first violence of the new school year to appear.
It was just before lunchtime on opening day, Tuesday, when Peel Region police began looking for a teenager suspected of stabbing a fellow student in the schoolyard of a Brampton high school.
Police said the victim, a male student at Cardinal Leger Catholic Secondary School, was taken to a hospital shortly after 11 a.m., with wounds said to be non-life-threatening.
Students leaving the school Tuesday said the young man had been stabbed in the face.
Schools in the immediate area were placed under a hold-and-secure order while officers, backed up by K9 and tactical units, scoured the area. The order was lifted at 12:30 p.m., after police concluded there was no imminent threat to public safety.

Human Remains Delivered to 2 Canada Schools
Montreal, Canada
Packages containing a human foot and hand were discovered at two schools in Vancouver on Tuesday, in what could be the latest gruesome twist in the case of a Canadian porn actor suspected of dismembering and eating his former lover.
Police said they could not immediately confirm if the body parts in question were the missing extremities of Chinese student Jun Lin, whose hand and foot were discovered last week when they were mailed to Canada's top political parties.
The suspect, Luka Rocco Magnotta, 29, was caught Monday in Berlin, after evading police for days while he partied in Paris. He told German authorities he would not fight extradition to Canada.
