Evergreen Public Schools: Threat at Vancouver elementary was not viable

Parents dropping off their kids at Endeavour Elementary School in Vancouver on Friday morning may have noticed a police presence, which was prompted by a shooting threat on social media.

A teenage boy made the threats on Snapchat to a small group of students who attend the school, according to emergency radio traffic monitored at The Columbian.

The threats happened before the school day began at 9 a.m.

Police officers contacted school security before responding to 2701 N.E. Four Seasons Lane.

Once there, the officers searched the school for anything or anyone suspicious but found nothing, according to the scanner.

Principal Lauren Bradley wrote in a letter to parents that police and school administrators investigated the threat immediately, discovered “the source,” and  determined the threat was not viable.

“Police officers and school security continue to be on site this morning to investigate and ensure the school community is safe and secure,” Bradley said.
