Student Arrested In Pasadena
A student from the Blair International Baccalaureate School has been arrested on a suspicion of bringing a gun to campus. The arrest followed a school evacuation that occurred after police were informed.
The Los Angeles Times reports that police and administrators have ordered a lockdown of the campus, but no weapon has been found in the area.
Police did not find the weapon but made the arrest based on witness statements, Pederson said. There were no gunshots reported. A crowd of parents had gathered at the school. Many were especially nervous following a string of recent shootings from Oxnard to Los Angeles.
As the post on NowPublic.com states according to the police, the investigation of this incident is ongoing and another search could be conducted later.
The male student, whose name was not released, was taken into custody for investigation of being a minor possessing a firearm, police said in a statement. Police said the investigation was ongoing and another search could be conducted later.
The superintendent of the school, Darlene Kopplin Easley, is quoted expressing her concern after the incident.
“We have not had these types of incidents. My son will be back here Monday.”
