Police Investigate "Swatting" Incident at Lakeridge High School

LAKE OSWEGO – On Monday, June 1, 2026, at about 10:25 am, Lakeridge High School was the target of a “swatting” incident involving a threatening phone call, which prompted a rapid response from police. Swatting is a hoax where a person makes a call about an ongoing threat that is intended to provoke a large police response at a particular address or location.

The school was immediately placed in secure while police investigated the incident and, once it was determined there was no threat, they decided to remain in secure for the rest of the day out of an abundance of caution.

The students and staff are safe, and the investigation continues.
