Masked teens identified in Enumclaw High School break in 'prank'
Masked teens sought in Enumclaw High School break in
Authorities are on high alert after several armed and masked teens broke into Enumclaw High School over the weekend.
ENUMCLAW, Wash. - Police have identified three masked teens who broke into Enumclaw High School over the weekend, saying it was intended to be a "prank."
The backstory:
Enumclaw police released photos of three individuals in masks that allegedly broke into Enumclaw HS around 10 p.m. on Saturday.
While the teens did not break or steal anything, police said their behavior inside the building was suspicious, prompting an increased police presence at the school.
In an update Tuesday, Enumclaw police said they received extensive tips and were able to identify the suspects in the break-in, two of them being students at the high school.
The incident was apparently supposed to be a prank, adding that a gun one of the teens was spotted pointing in the hallways was actually an airsoft gun.
Police say two of the identified suspects will face charges, and the third subject was visiting from another state and has returned home.
The suspects have been cooperating throughout the investigation, and there is no ongoing threat at Enumclaw High School. An increased police presence will remain at Enumclaw HS on Tuesday and Wednesday to alleviate additional concerns.
The Source: Information in this story came from a joint press release sent out by the Enumclaw Police Department and Enumclaw School District.
