The following information was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports.

A Renton Police officer received a report of a threat to Lindbergh High School the following Monday while providing security at a football game Sept. 25 at Renton Memorial Stadium.

Students told a Lindbergh school official that they were approached by another student, who said, “if you want to live, don’t go to school on Monday.”

The school official located the student at the game, who was interviewed in the stadium’s office. The 15-year-old student apologized; he didn’t mean to cause alarm. He and other students had found a website that talked about not going to school for a variety of reasons. So he decided to tell students, don’t go to school on Monday.

He said he nor anyone else online planned to do anything to harm students at Lindbergh or any school.

The officer explained the seriousness of the situation to the student, who apologized. A meeting was planned for the Monday at the school.

MAN TAIL-GATED, STABBED: A 24-year-old Bothell man was injured late Sept. 26 when he was stabbed by a man who tailgated him on the way down the hill from Skyway, apparently wanting him to go faster.

The confrontation happened in the Fred Meyer parking lot, after two men got out of an SUV, followed by one or two more. During the fight, the victim was stabbed, but he doesn’t know why.

He suffered a stab wound to the upper chest and was taken to Harborview Medical Center in critical condition. He was released the next day; he would have died had the knife gone any deeper.

TOOLS, BIKE STOLEN: Tools, a bike and other items worth about $2,700 were stolen late in September from a detached garage on Cedar Avenue South.

A screwdriver likely was used prior open the wood door.
