Police have seized items from the family home of a "radicalised" teenage boy who on Saturday night was shot dead by police after stabbing a man in a car park.
On Tuesday, police said they were speaking to the boy's family members and have seized items including mobile phones. Police Minister Paul Papalia said that incident was "part of" what led the 16-year-old being brought to the attention of police, and being put on the countering violent extremism program.On Tuesday morning, the premier, education minister and WA Police were dispelling reports of a fresh safety threat at Rossmoyne Senior High School.
"The issue was about radicalisation. The letter did not express concern of community safety, more concern about their child being radicalised," the minister said.Education Department director-general Lisa Rodgers said in a statement she wanted to "reassure parents there are very comprehensive protocols across many government agencies to identify students who may present a risk to others in relation to violent extremism.
"There's no reason why anyone should feel that our kids' safety is being compromised by the neglect of our system."The incident involving the teenager has not been classified as a terrorist attack."Declaring a terrorist incident gives me additional powers under the Emergency Management Act. I don't need to use them at this time," he said.
