The Marysville Police Department has completed its response to Marysville Pilchuck High School (MPHS) following a report earlier today of an active shooter. The school lockdown has been lifted, and all students and staff are safe.
The initial report was received via an internet chat to a Veterans Crisis Line, originating from an IP address in California. MPHS was placed on lockdown as a precautionary measure, with a coordinated response from our department, the Marysville Fire District and multiple North Snohomish County law enforcement agencies. A thorough search confirmed there was no immediate danger to students or staff.
Our department is working closely with MPHS, the Marysville School District and the Marysville Fire District to support students, faculty, and families as they process today’s events. The Marysville Fire District remains on-site to provide emotional and medical support as needed, and plans are underway for next steps in resuming normal operations.
