SEATTLE — A Seattle middle school has extra security in place Thursday after a student reported an attempted kidnapping. The principal of Hamilton International Middle School, Dorian Manza, sent a letter to parents Wednesday night warning them about what happened. According to Seattle police, the student was walking home from school through Wallingford Park toward North 42nd Street and the tennis courts at around 2:50 p.m. when a man came out from some bushes and asked the student if they wanted “a ride home.”Shortly after, the victim’s family called the police.
Manza said the school district’s safety and security team will increase its presence around the school.More news from KIRO 7
