Police are investigating a possible “swatting” attempt that caused the lockdown of South Kitsap High School May 8.

It is believed the call was a prank to provoke an extreme police response, commonly known as swatting. This is the second time in less than a month a lockdown has been ordered at the school; the first instance ended in the arrest of a student.

The Port Orchard Police Department released a statement saying it had received a call about an armed male at the school around 2:51 p.m. Police and the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office placed the school on lockdown. After a search and review of security footage, the lockdown was lifted around 3:45 p.m.
