LYNNWOOD—South County Sheriff Deputies apprehended an 11-year-old boy Monday at Alderwood Middle School in Lynnwood in relation to bringing weapons on campus. This is the second time the juvenile was taken into custody within the last four weeks by law enforcement.
Just after 3 p.m., May 5, Sheriff Deputies responded to Alderwood Middle School for a report of a kid on campus with a weapon (school was already dismissed for the day).
Upon arrival, Sheriff Deputies located the suspect, an 11-year-old boy, who fled on foot. Deputies then located the boy and took him into custody after two knives were recovered.
The modified after-school lockdown at the middle school was lifted. There were no injuries and there is no active threat to students or staff.
The 11-year-old boy is the same suspect apprehended in a related attempted stabbing incident at Alderwood Middle School in Lynnwood on Aoril 4, around 1:30 p.m.
A teacher intervened in the incident and prevented the juvenile victim from injury.
