Sammamish HS Put On 'Lock Out' After Written Threat

BELLEVUE, WA — Sammamish High School was placed on lock out on June 10 after the principal found a threat targeting students at the school, according to Bellevue police.

The principal called police around 10:30 a.m. to report the threat, and then initiated the lock out, which, opposed to a lock-down, is when a school building is closed to people from the outside.

Bellevue police were able to identify the person who made the threat, who was later arrested at his home. The minor was taken to the youth jail in Seattle on charges of making threats.

Here are a few more incidents from the June 10 to June 16 Bellevue police blotter:
