Hidden Creek Elementary School in Port Orchard went into lockdown for two separate incidents Jan. 23.
Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office officials said it went into lockdown after reports around 10:15 a.m. that a suspicious man was spotted outside the school located off Converse Avenue SE. Officers found nothing.
South Kitsap School District public information officer Amy Miller said the school then received a threatening call that further prompted the lockdown. KCSO traced the threats to a 14-year-old juvenile, who reportedly admitted making that threat along with several others to random phone numbers in and out of state. No arrests were made.
