As students head back to class and traffic and pedestrian volumes increase around local schools, Lethbridge Police are reminding motorists to slow down, stay alert and obey the rules of the road.

Lethbridge Police have charged four youths following an altercation between two groups at Park Place Mall on Friday. During the incident, what appeared to be a firearm was brandished and may have been discharged, causing patrons to fear for their safety and take cover.

UPDATE: The driver of the vehicle has been identified and it has been determined that nothing criminal had occurred. Police thank the public for their assistance and sharing the message.
