PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A 13-year-old boy was taken into custody in Pierce County early Saturday morning after officials said he had made threats of a school shooting and further claimed he had access to firearms.
First reported by KIRO 7, the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office said they were first made aware of the teen and him “making threats to kill” on Friday.
Then at 1 a.m. Saturday, deputies and SWAT served a warrant on a home in the 13500 block of 20th Avenue Court East in Tacoma.
Officials said the teen was taken into custody and booked into Remann Hall Juvenile Detention Center.
Deputies said further search of the home yielded a large amount of secured and unsecured firearms.
Additionally, loaded magazines with “school shooter writings on them” were recovered, as well as “clothing and writings that would support a typical mass shooting scenario” were confiscated, the sheriff’s office said.
Officials also noted the teen was last enrolled in the Franklin Pierce School District in 2021, but is not currently an active student in any school district.
Investigation into the incident is ongoing, authorities said.
