LYNNWOOD, Wash. - A Snohomish County middle school went into lockdown after an 11-year-old boy was seen on campus with a knife, just a month after attempting to stab another student, police say.
Snohomish County deputies were called around 3:00 p.m. to Alderwood Middle School in Lynnwood, over reports of a child on campus with a knife. According to authorities, school was already out for the day, and the building went into modified after-school lockdown during the incident.
When deputies arrived, the 11-year-old suspect ran, but they caught up with him and took him into custody.
Deputies found two knives on the child and seized them.

The Snohomish County Sheriff's Office confirmed to FOX 13 Seattle that this is the same suspect in an attempted stabbing at Alderwood back in early April. At that time, authorities say the boy tried to stab a student, but a teacher stopped him before anyone got hurt.
The student ran, but a parent turned him over to police two days later. He was booked into Denny Juvenile Justice Center for second-degree assault and possession of a deadly weapon on school property.

Multiple immigration sweeps reported across L.A.: 'They're everywhere'
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were carrying out a series of immigration sweeps across Southern California on Friday morning, sparking fear and anxiety among immigrant communities. At least one video posted on X show federal agents running after people in the parking lot of the Home Depot in Westlake, not far from downtown Los Angeles. A man recording the video can be heard warning people in Spanish that immigration officials were at the location and to stay away. Los Angeles Councilmember Eunisses Hernandez, whose district includes Westlake, said in a written statement that her office has received reports about immigration enforcement operations taking place in her district and other parts of Los Angeles. "These actions are escalating: agents arrive without warning and leave quickly, aware that our communities mobilize fast," she said. "I urge Angelenos to stay alert." The raids are the latest in a string of high-profile immigration enforcement actions over the last week, part of President Trump's promised deportation crackdown. A few days ago, immigration agents raided a popular San Diego restaurant and made arrests, sparking a standoff with outraged residents. Agents also arrested Chinese and Taiwanese nationals at an underground nightclub in the Los Angeles area. Yasmeen Pitts O'Keefe, a spokesperson for Homeland Security Investigations, a branch of ICE, said federal agents in downtown Los Angeles were executing search warrants related to the harboring of people illegally in the country. No other details were provided, and it wasn't known how many operations were taking place. Another video posted on Instagram shows six federal agents walking near the intersection of Towne Avenue and 10th Street in the Fashion District. Ron Gochez, a member of Unión del Barrio, an independent political organization advocating for immigrant rights and social justice, said his group has been "flooded" with calls about immigration sweeps taking place in Los Angeles and Orange counties. "There were ICE agents at a Home Depot in Cypress, there's ICE agents at Wilshire Boulevard and Union Avenue, a construction site in North Hollywood and in South L.A.," he said in a phone interview. "They're everywhere." This is a developing story and will be updated as more information is made available. Sign up for Essential California for news, features and recommendations from the L.A.

Minneapolis man sentenced for stabbing, hanging St. Paul woman's dog after argument
A Minneapolis man with a significant recent criminal history was sentenced this week to four years in prison for killing a woman's dog inside her St. Paul apartment after the two argued. The sentence handed down to 25-year-old Emmanuel Joe Ware Jr. in Ramsey County District Court on Monday will run at the same time as a four-year term he received in Hennepin County in March for possession of a firearm and ammunition by a person who is not eligible due to a conviction for a crime of violence. The Ramsey County complaint says the woman told police that she left her West Side apartment on Jan. 9 to stay with her sister after she and Ware got into an argument. When she returned the next day, her bloodied and dead dog — a white Pomeranian named 'Bug' — was hanging by his neck in her closet. Officers saw a shattered mirror, blood 'all over' the walls and the dog hanging. He had a deep cut to his eye. A knife block in the kitchen was missing two knives. A necropsy later revealed Bug had broken bones and stab wounds to his head. The woman told police Ware sent her a series of threatening text messages after she went to her sister's place. She said she is pregnant with Ware's child and fearful of him because he was assaultive with her in the past, the complaint says. Investigators spoke with Ware four days later at Hennepin County Jail, where he was booked Jan. 12 on the gun possession charge. Ware said he 'loves Bug' and would never hurt him, and that he was with his girlfriend, 'Fantasia,' in Minneapolis on the day in question, the complaint says. Investigators pulled video surveillance footage from the apartment building, which showed Ware in the first-floor elevator lobby around 5 p.m. Jan. 9, and in the fourth-floor lobby around 7:45 p.m. Investigators, with apartment surveillance photos in hand, returned to the jail on Jan. 27 to interview Ware again. He said that he had lied to them before and was at the apartment on Jan. 9, but reiterated he did not kill the dog. Ware pleaded guilty to felony mistreating or torturing an animal on March 20 after reaching an agreement with the prosecution. Ex-Metro Transit employee claims religious discrimination in lawsuit Verdict awaits after closing arguments in Derrick Thompson's trial for crash that killed 5 Ex-teacher of Hmong College Prep Academy in St. Paul sentenced for criminal sexual conduct with student 'Felt as though they were going to kill me,' Mahtomedi man beaten and robbed of casino winnings says in court Macalester alum sues over animal testing in psychology labs; college responds Another case was dismissed at sentencing as part of the plea deal: felony mail theft after police say video surveillance at the woman's St. Paul apartment building showed him stealing a package of Christmas gifts from the mail room on Dec. 4. Ware has one pending case. In December, he was charged with misdemeanor domestic assault stemming from a Dec. 11 incident involving the woman at the HealthPartners Clinic on Wabasha Street in St. Paul during an OB/GYN appointment. A jury trial is scheduled for next month. At the time of the dog's killing, Ware was on intensive supervised release after serving three years and three months for a 2021 conviction in Hennepin County for abetting and abetting first-degree robbery. He has two other felony convictions out of Hennepin County: first-degree robbery in 2017 and fourth-degree possession of a controlled substance (cocaine and ecstasy) in 2019.
