2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2018 Tall ship returns to Astoria Investigation launched after threats at Astoria High School Department.” Sgt. Brian Aydt said officers are still interviewing students. While the investigation is in the early stages, it appears the alleged threat was only by one student toward another, rather than a threat of mass violence, he said. Once the investiga- tion is finished, it will be for- warded to the Clatsop County District Attorney’s office to see if charges will be filed. Craig Hoppes, school superintendent in Astoria, declined to comment on the specific case but said that, by policy, students are removed from class after threats of vio- lence. The school district’s policy regarding threats of violence includes “removing from the classroom setting any student who has threat- ened to injure another person or to severely damage school property.” Lynn Jackson, the princi- pal at the high school, issued a statement to parents about the investigation. “Upon receiving informa- tion regarding threats of poten- tial violence toward another student, the administration of Astoria High School began a preliminary investigation Monday morning to discover who were the alleged stu- dent(s) involved in the report,” he said. “By late morning, the investigation became a col- laborative effort between the Astoria Police Department and the Astoria School Dis- trict to fully ascertain the level of threat the issue entailed. “Steps have been taken to ensure the safety of stu- dents involved while adher- ing to district and board pol- icies. The situation continues to be collaboratively investi- gated with the Astoria Police Parent alerted school after son threatened By EDWARD STRATTON The Daily Astorian Police are investigating alleged threats of violence by a student at Astoria High School. A parent of a student posted on Facebook on Mon- day that another student has been threatening to shoot, stab or kill her son over the past two weeks. The family made a third report Monday that the student threatened to kill her son at the upcom- ing homecoming dance, she wrote. She encouraged other parents to contact the high school with their concerns. The Daily Astorian The Hawaiian Chieftain will return to Astoria next week for tours and sailing excursions.
