College Place – Authorities say two high school students have been arrested in southeastern Washington after an attack on a middle school principal.
Walla Walla County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Shanda Zessin said police were called Thursday afternoon to John Sager Middle School in College Place.
Zessin said authorities responded and found Principal Dale Stopperan with injuries to his face.
College Place police said the students, who attend College Place High School on the same campus, threatened the principal using a spear-type object.
Zessin said the students were taken into custody at the scene and that officers weren’t looking for other suspects.
Zessin said Stopperan’s injuries were serious but not life-threatening. She said he was taken to a local hospital in stable condition.
