"The nonprofit said Monday that a student flagged a peer's Instagram post through its Say Something Anonymous Reporting System. On Sept. 10, the group's crisis center alerted the Sequoia Union High School District's response team, prompting precautionary lockdowns at Menlo-Atherton High School as well as nearby campuses, including Laurel School and Encinal School Lower Campus. Law enforcement later detained the student and recovered weapons from their home, according to the Atherton Police Department."
"Nicole Hockley, co-founder and CEO of Sandy Hook Promise, said the Bay Area case highlights the importance of vigilance. Sometimes we receive hundreds of tips about a potential threat. Other times, as we saw in California during this incident, it just takes one, said Hockley, whose son Dylan was killed in the Sandy Hook shooting. At a time where many feel powerless against gun violence, this student's bravery proves that each of us has the ability to make a difference."

Sandy Hook Promise, founded by family members of those killed in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, operates the reporting program for grades 4–12 by app, text, phone, or website. The system aims to enable safe, private reports that can trigger interventions before tragedies.
