Edmonds-Woodway H.S. student arrested

A student from Edmonds-Woodway high school was arrested and placed in juvenile jail on the morning of Monday, June 6 for felony harassment. According to Edmonds-Woodway H.S. Principal Allison Larson, information about a credible threat of violence was reported by families, and subsequent action was taken. Police recovered a BB gun and other evidence from the student, and there were police on campus on June 5 for additional safety. According to ESD Assistant Superintendent Greg Schwab, the next course of action will be for the student’s parents and teachers to discuss the incident in accordance with the district’s threat assessment protocol. Following the arrest, Larson sent an email to students and families encouraging them to report any potentially dangerous information, and informing them that support would be available if needed. H
A Woodinville High School student was reported selling vape cartridges containing fentanyl to other students. Fentanyl is a narcotic substance that is used for pain management for cancer patients. Despite being a prescribed medication due to its high opioid properties, it is a commonly abused substance. An email from the Northshore School District was sent out to parents and guardians about the investigation into the dealings after several students who were reported to have bought and vaped the cartridges reported sickness later.

The first of the scheduled public House committee hearings for the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol was televised on June 9. The first hearing included responses from over 1,000 witnesses, and testimonies from top White House aides along with members of former President Donald Trump’s family, such as Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr. It also included never-before seen video footage from the attack. The committee uncovered many critical parts of the attack, including the confirmation of Donald Trump’s involvement and support in continuing the attack, and the reveal of the far-right group the Proud Boys’ charges of seditious conspiracy. Donald Trump’s own family appeared in the hearing against him, stating they didn’t support his theories or believe his claims about winning the presidency. Part of Ivanka Trump’s eight-hour-long interview revealed that she and several members of the Trump family had already accepted Donald Trump’s reelection loss, but didn’t want to embarrass him. Almost all major news networks covered the hearing, except for media company Fox News Channel. Instead, television host Tucker Carlson called the hearing “propaganda” and the attack “forgettably minor vandalism.” Everyone can make their own judgments of the event by tuning in for the remaining hearings through the rest of June, the second being on June 13.
