Puyallup high school teacher arrested, accused of threatening to shoot students

A geometry teacher at Emerald Ridge High School has been arrested after allegedly threatening to shoot students. Pierce County Sheriff's Office Detective Ed Troyer says the 58-year-old teacher made the threats while talking to another person on Tuesday night. That person contacted the school district, and the district contacted the sheriff's office. "This morning we went out to talk to her, and she wouldn't back off from her statements," Troyer said.
