Kenmore police make arrest in Inglemoor school threat case

Kenmore Police arrested a 16 year old teen Wednesday for threats he made towards other Inglemoor High School students and staff on Instagram in June. One of the posts threatened to “shoot up” the school.

Kenmore Police and the King County Sheriff’s Office started an investigation on June 15th when Inglemoor school officials learned of the threats and reported them to police.

During the investigation detectives conducted a search warrant at a house in Kenmore and determined a 16 year old Inglemoor student living at the house was responsible for the posts. The student was arrested yesterday morning for Felony Harassment and released to his parents.

Police warn that school threats are taken seriously and as in this investigation search warrants may be obtained to track down the suspect and make an arrest.
