A teenager involved in a stabbing incident and previously in a deradicalization program was connected to threats against Rossmoyne Senior High School in Perth, leading to increased security measures.
In Perth, a teenager previously shot by police was connected to Rossmoyne Senior High School, which became the target of threatening messages. These warnings, indicating a planned attack on the school, were later identified as a result of hacking. The school’s principal assured there was no actual threat to safety, confirming that steps are being taken to bolster security.
The 16-year-old involved had been part of a deradicalization program due to prior encounters with law enforcement and had shown concerning behavior, including detonating an explosive in a school bathroom. He was shot dead by police after stabbing a man, who is now in stable condition.
Western Australia’s Premier, Roger Cook, acknowledged issues involving allegedly radicalized groups of teenagers at the school, stressing the need for effective management to prevent extremist actions. The incident has prompted discussions on the role of religious practices in public schools.
Authorities are continuing their investigations into both the stabbing and the origin of the threatening messages.
