The suspected threat had been disseminated through the social media platform SNAPCHAT.

Due to the arrest of the 2 suspects and the findings of their investigation the King City PD believes no further threat related to this investigation exists at this time to the school and community. The King City Police Department takes any threat to the safety of children, schools, or the community as a threat to the safety of the community and will deploy all available resources when this occurs. The King City Police Department thanks the students and staff who reacted so quickly to bring this suspected threat to their attention.
