FBI Helps RCMP Identify Salmon Arm School Threat; Suspect Under House Arrest

The suspect remains under house arrest as RCMP continue monitoring after a publication ban was lifted and parents were told the risk had been 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.
