Police investigation at Shorecrest: Update

Police are investigating "a quantity of blood" found on the Shorecrest campus, just south of the school, Monday, October 11.

Around 6:15 am, the school custodian found the blood and notified police and school resource Officer Rob Bardsley. Access to the south parking lot and South Woods was closed to staff and students during the active police investigation.

The parking lot was reopened in the afternoon and will be open Tuesday morning as usual.

Shorecrest High School is located at 15343 25th Ave NE, Shoreline 98155.

UPDATE:  Sgt. John Urquhart of the Sheriff's Office says that there was a fair amount of blood, but not necessarily a fatal amount for a human.  They will not know if it is human or animal without lab testing.  

They called out a couple of tracking dogs to make sure that no one was lying wounded in the woods or a nearby ditch, but no one was found.

They checked the hospitals to see if anyone had shown up with injuries or symptoms of low blood.

They thoroughly documented the scene in case something developed later.
