Orca K-8 Shelter in Place; Everything Fine and Under Control
Update with correction from SPS:
This was a drive-by shooting at the 2900 block of S. Graham of a 15-year old boy. It is unknown if he is an SPS student.
The victim did NOT go to Orca K-8 but a shelter-in-place occurred at 5 area schools as a precaution when the first report of a shooting occurred. The police determined it was a drive-by shooting (and no gunman was on foot in the area) so the shelter-in-place was lifted.
No word on the condition of the victim except that he was ambulatory and had made his way home.
End of Update
Reader Southpaw reported that Orca K-8 was sheltering in place (somewhere around 1:15 p.m.).
The issue was a person - reportedly a 15-year old - who had been shot somewhere else came to the school to see a family member. The school likely sheltered in place as a precautionary measure.
There was no gunman at Orca.
No real info on the victim (who it is and where the person came from) but he/she is apparently alive. This from SPD and I have a call into SPS for further information on their end.

Thanks for the info -

No children at those schools were in any danger and no one involved in the shooting went to any school.
