FBI Assist RCMP with Investigation of Threat Directed at Salmon Arm School

The suspect was arrested before classes resumed and remains under house arrest as RCMP say the risk to students and staff was eliminated.

  • On June 18, 2026, School District 83 Supt. Donna Kriger confirmed that the FBI assisted the RCMP in identifying an individual responsible for a threat made against a Salmon Arm school during the 2025 winter break.
  • Police directed the School District to withhold information during the ongoing criminal investigation to comply with a court-ordered publication ban that prevented sharing details regarding the suspect until now.
  • The individual responsible for the threat remains under house arrest while being closely monitored by the RCMP, ensuring no ongoing risk to J.L. Jackson Secondary students and staff.
  • Kriger expressed that the district is "deeply grateful for the work and professionalism of the RCMP and the FBI, who first identified the threat," and thanked the provincial Safer Schools Together team.
  • In May of this year, the school district and local RCMP responded to an unrelated rumored threat involving J.L. Jackson Secondary, ultimately finding nothing to substantiate the claims.
