Skyline, Issaquah High Schools Placed On Lockdown

SAMMAMISH, WA - Two high schools in the Issaquah School District were placed on lockdown Wednesday for different reasons. Skyline High School was under lockdown until around 2:30 p.m. due to a bomb threat, and an earlier lockdown at Issaquah High School involved a report of a gun.

The Skyline lockdown lasted for almost three hours as police swept the building looking for a suspicious device, according to the King County Sheriff's Office. No device was found, and noone had been arrested. Students and staff were sent to the school stadium during a search of the building.

“Skyline High School is in a lockdown investigating a potential threat discovered by staff. Police are on their way to the school. We will communicate further details when we have them,” Issaquah schools wrote on Twitter around noon.

Around 10 a.m. Wednesday, Issaquah High School was placed on lockdown after a report of a gun at the school. The lockdown ended by 11 a.m. Issaquah officers did not find a gun at the school, but a 14-year-old student was taken into custody.
