Clark County Sheriff’s Office deputies were present at a private Vancouver school Tuesday due to a student making a threat.
Arne Kainu, interim superintendent of King’s Way Christian Schools, sent an email to parents and staff Tuesday afternoon, explaining the law enforcement presence.
Kainu wrote that on Monday night, a parent reported that two King’s Way students “may have heard another student making an intimidating remark about a weapon.” Clark County Sgt. Brent Waddell described it as an “internet threat,” though he said a full report on the incident had not been completed.
The interim superintendent said the school took immediate action by notifying the parents of the alleged threatening child and initiating a law enforcement investigation to figure out if such a comment was ever made.
