A former Umatilla High School student was arrested on Tuesday after allegedly posting a video of himself with a weapon and a threatening statement.
According to Umatilla School Superintendent Heidi Sipe, the district contacted the police after it had received numerous reports of the video. The reports came in during after-school hours.
The Umatilla Police Department responded, located the suspect, confiscated weapons and equipment and the suspect, whose name has not been released, was arrested.
Sipe said there was “no reason to believe there are any further threats at this time,” and added that school would resume today with normal operations.
“We appreciate the prompt response from the Umatilla Police Department in this situation,” said Sipe in a statement on the district’s website. “We also appreciate the fast reporting by students and parents of the threat.”
