A 16-year-old student at Sequim High School was arrested early Thursday morning after allegedly threatening to carry out a school shooting.

The Clallam County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) was alerted by the FBI around 2:15 a.m. after TikTok flagged a post stating, “I am going to shoot up Sequim High School tomorrow.”

The FBI traced the post to a residence in Sequim and notified local authorities.

A CCSO sergeant and deputy located the suspect at his home around 4:00 a.m. and took him into custody without incident. He was transported to Clallam County Juvenile Services.

“The Clallam County Sheriff’s Office takes all threats to schools and public safety seriously. The safety of our schools and community is our top priority,” CCSO said in a statement.
