Update on off-campus shooting overnight

From Shoreline School District administrators

Dear Shoreline Families and Our Community: 

As many of you are aware, there was a shooting incident in Shoreline last night that involved Shoreline students from both Shorecrest and Shorewood. A Shorecrest student passed away in the early hours of this morning from her injuries. A Shorewood student was critically injured in the same incident and is at Harborview Medical Center.

This is a huge shock to our entire community. We are offering counseling support as some of our students may want to seek additional help today, and in the days to come. Please do encourage your student to seek out our counselors or your family advocate for this support. School operations are proceeding as normal at both high schools.

Shoreline police are investigating and we are in direct communication with our staff and school resource officer.

As we learn more, we will keep our school community updated.

Sincerely,

Sue Walker

Superintendent
