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

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 Hawaiian Chieftain will
