'Terrorist Threats' Made Against Clover Park Technical College
Several threats have been made against Clover Park between last week and this week, according to police.
LAKEWOOD, WA - Lakewood police are investigating several "terrorist" threats that have been made recently against Clover Park Technical College. The threats have been made on several occasions last week and this week, police are saying.
Each threat has been a hoax, police have determined, but the threats have forced the school to go into lockdown. One of the threats forced Harrison Preparatory Academy, which is a short distance west of Clover Park, into lockdown.
Even though the threats have been hoaxes, police are investigating the incidents as terrorist threats.
