Tigard Police Investigate a Possible Threat to Tigard High
Around 7:45a.m this morning,parents called Tigard Police about a possible threat of violence by a
former Tigard High school student. The concern originated from a social media post and rumors
spread quickly about threats of violence to Tigard High school.
Tigard Police and Tigard High School took the concerns seriously. Officers responded and have
fully investigated the social media post that prompted the concern. After interviewing the former
student and his parents,Tigard Police concluded that no threat of harm to Tigard High School
exists.
We appreciate the timely information provided to us by parents and students allowing us to look
into this concern.
We encourage students and parents to use Safe Oregon to report school safety concerns:
