REDMOND, OR -- Four Redmond schools went into "Secure" Monday morning after police received a tip from a concerned parent about a possible threat. Redmond School District officials say School Resource Officer Nathan Rankin was at Redmond High when the first Secure went into place. Redmond Police assessed the situation and determined there was not a direct threat to any students. In a "Secure," classes still continue, exterior doors are locked, and students stay in the building. Three more schools went into Secure as a precaution, although there was not a threat to them directly.

The police department continued to update the school district as they attempted to locate a suspect who was outside of any school campuses. “While the situation was unfolding, our students were safe, which is the most important aspect of this morning,” Superintendent Dr. Charan Cline said in a statement.

The school district sent this message out to parents and students of the district after the event was resolved:

“At approximately 9 a.m. Redmond High School went into Secure after the Redmond Police Department received a tip from a concerned parent about a possible threat. Terrebonne Elementary, Tom McCall Elementary, and Elton Gregory Middle School also went into Secure as a precaution. Secure means all exterior doors are locked, students do not leave the building, but classes are continuing. Redmond police have located and detained the suspect. The police have determined there is not a threat to any students at this time and all Secures have been lifted. The Redmond School District appreciates the swift and thorough response of the Redmond PD and supporting agencies that keep our students, staff, and community safe.” 

The district is also thankful for the parent who called in the tip. The district does not have any specific information about the suspect who was detained.

This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
