At approximately 11:26 a.m. this morning (Friday, Sept. 16, 2022), the Clackamas High School Resource Officer (SRO) alerted dispatch to a Snapchat video depicting a student holding what appeared to be a firearm in a restroom at Clackamas High.

Deputies learned of a third possibly involved outstanding student, and Clackamas High was placed in lockdown.
