Issaquah police were called to Issaquah High School Monday, Jan. 7 around 1:30 p.m., when eight rounds of .22 ammunition for a rifle or handgun were discovered.

IPD Chief Paul Ayers said the ammunition is in the evidence locker at the station. They don’t know where it came from yet, but Ayers said it is believed it fell from a backpack or pocket.

A student made the discovery and reported it to the school administration.

Ayers said there are extra officers around all of the area schools, but he added that the department maintains a presence around the schools at all times.

The investigation is ongoing.
