A 12-year-old boy accused of creating a chemical explosion at morning recess on Wednesday did not mean to harm one of his schoolmates. A 12-year-old girl who was nearby sustained non-life-threatening injuries. At a news conference Thursday, Regina police spokesperson Elizabeth Popowich said only that the girl was treated and will recover. The chemicals did not come from the school, said Lazarou, nor did the knowledge of how to create an explosion. According to Regina police, the school’s principal contacted a school resource officer to report the “explosive chemical reaction that injured a student.”Lazarou said school administrators gave the girl first aid.
