Wilsonville High School closed Wednesday after threat

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Wilsonville High School is closed on Wednesday after a violent threat, officials said.

In a message sent to families in the West Linn-Wilsonville School District, the district said that a threatening message was found in a boys’ bathroom stall on Tuesday that threatened student safety.

According to the district, the message specifically mentioned October 29, Wednesday, and referenced using a weapon at Wilsonville High School.

Law enforcement was immediately contacted about the threat, and the district is reviewing camera footage to see what students may have had access to the area.

In the message, officials said that law enforcement doesn’t think the threat was credible, but being cautious, they still decided to cancel school.

“Out of an abundance of caution, the school district will cancel school for Wilsonville High School on Wednesday, Oct. 29,” the message said. “While local law enforcement does not have reason to believe the threat is credible, they believe more time would be helpful to do a thorough investigation to ensure student safety and identify the student(s) who wrote the message.”

The closure only impacts Wilsonville High School, and all other schools in the district are open as normal.

Anyone with information about the threat is asked to contact the school office.
