UMATILLA – “See something, say something” worked for the Umatilla School District today (Tuesday). The following information was posted on the school district’s Facebook page:

“This afternoon (3/8/2022), after-school hours, we received numerous reports of a former student at Umatilla High School who had released a video of himself with a weapon and a threatening statement. Police were immediately contacted and responded.

“They confiscated weapons and equipment and trespassed and arrested the student. We appreciate the prompt response from the Umatilla Police Department in this situation. We also appreciate the fast reporting by students and parents of the threat.

“There is no reason to believe that there are any further threats at this time and school will resume tomorrow (Wednesday) with normal operations.”
