Shooting Threat At Lake Oswego High School

LAKE OSWEGO, Ore. — Police secured the campus of Lake Oswego High School after word of a shooting threat on Thursday morning.

“We received information about a possible threat at the high school at about 10:45 this morning.  We’re not aware of any active threat to the students… and really essentially are erring on the side of caution,” said Sergeant Tom Harper with Lake Oswego Police.

Students were not allowed to leave and nobody was allowed in or out of the school for about four hours before students were released.

The district said it could not connect the threat to posts being shared on TikTok threatening violence at schools across the country.
