Cliff Ziesemer.<\/p>\n<p>They took her into custody and booked her in to the Thurston County Jail for felony harassment, he said.<\/p>\n<p>School had not yet started, so schools weren&#8217;t notified at that time, Ziesemer said. All law enforcement in Thurston County was notified of it, however, he said.<\/p>\n<p>The lieutenant said details are not yet known, such as if the woman had a particular school in mind or if she had taken any substantial steps toward such action. She lives in the Steam Boat Island area outside Olympia, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Ziesemer said Karen M. Kibler had access to weapons, but there were none in her home.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It appears that she&#8217;s &#8216;mental&#8217;,&#8221; he said. &#8220;She&#8217;s been diagnosed with mental problems.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The information came from the FBI&#8217;s Guardian Operations Unit, a group he hadn&#8217;t heard of until this morning, he said. The alert read as though Kibler had given the information about herself to them, he said.<\/p>\n<p>The unit said it got the tip at 5:26 a.m. EST., according to Ziesemer.<\/p>\n<p>The investigation will continue, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Kibler&#8217;s first court appearance will be at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday, in Thurston County Superior Court, according to the sheriff&#8217;s office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Sharyn\u00a0 L.
