The Olympian reports a Thurston County woman who allegedly threatened to shoot up a school full of children – via a rambling, profanity-laced message to the FBI – was ordered held on $100,000 bail yesterday.

Karin Michele Kibler’s public defender, John Hansen, told a judge that Friday’s incident did not show criminal intent, but mental health concerns, according to news reporter Rolf Boone.

Boone writes Kibler told arresting deputies she had been diagnosed with a delusion disorder.

The Thurston County Sheriff’s Office was notified at 6:19 a.m. on Friday of Kibler’s message and immediately went to her home in the the Steam Boat Island area outside Olympia and arrested her for felony harassment.

Sheriff’s Lt. Cliff Ziesemer indicated they didn’t know at the time if she had a particular school in mind but would be investigating further.
