“We want to stress that everyone in this situation did the right thing. Students reported the threat to parents, who then reached out to law enforcement so the threat could be investigated,” a spokesperson with the sheriff’s office said.
The principal of Olympia High School sent a voice message to parents about the threat.
“If it is determined that students are involved, appropriate discipline will be handed out according to the code of student conduct, which includes suspension, expulsion and even arrest. We take these matters very seriously,” the message said.
