Rossmoyne Senior High, WA: School attended by 'radicalised' teen swarmed by ... trends now
Police have swarmed the Western Australian high school of a 16-year-old boy who was shot dead by police after threats to shoot its students were posted online.
The teen stabbed a man in the Willetton Bunnings carpark in Perth's south about 10.15pm on Saturday, with police shooting the boy after they were unable to stop him with Tasers.
The man remains in Royal Perth Hospital in a stable condition.
A WA Police spokesperson said they were investigating the threats to Rossmoyne Senior High School - which appeared to be vexatious and not made by a student.
The disturbing messages were sent through the school's internal forum for students and teachers on Monday night.

A series of disturbing messages (pictured) were posted to the school's internal forum on Monday night
They include: 'All I'm saying is Allahu Ahkbar I will kill the n...... tomorrow' and 'the reason I threw up gang signs in my photos is cause I always planned to shoot up at the school and f... all the n...... c... you are all going to get punished for what you have said to me in school we will prevail'.
The school's principal Alan Brown labelled the messages as a 'hoax' and blamed a 'hacking incident'.
'As many of you are aware there are some inappropriate messages circulating amongst students and in the community,' he said in an email on Tuesday, obtained by The West.
'It has been confirmed that there has been a hacking incident and the messages have not originated from a student.
'Police have been notified and are investigating the matter and have confirmed there is no additional threat to the school or our students.'
Several parents chose to keep their children home from school on Tuesday following the messages.
Six police cars and multiple officers were seen outside the school on Tuesday morning.
'Police do not have any concerns for the safety of the students, teachers and the broader community, and WA Police continue to work with the Department of Education to identify the source of the messages,' the spokesperson said.
One parent, upon leaving a meeting with the principal at the school, told reporters authorities would not tell parents if other youths that are part of a group of known extremists attended the school or where they were located.
'The Department of Education will not give out that information,' she said.
The parent said they had been told the school had done everything it could to ensure students' safety and that it was 'no concern' that the student had remained at the school after he detonated a homemade bomb that destroyed a toilet block.

Multiple police officers attended the school (pictured) on Tuesday morning and assured parents and students there was no ongoing threat
'We had a known extremist that brought a bomb to school,' she said.
'They knew he was an extremist before the bomb, he had been an extremist in a program for about four years now, the bomb happened last year.'
She said students at the high school and other schools nearby felt scared, and if authorities were to wait until something happened to act, it would be too late.
On Monday, Premier Roger Cook confirmed claims that parents of students who attended Rossmoyne Senior High School, the same school as the boy, raised concerns about the teenager.
Mr Cook revealed the teenager had been radicalised online despite only having access to a 'very basic
