Gun
Date and Time of Release: September 12, 2012 – 8:00 p.m.
Contact: Watch Commander – (626) 574-5156
On September 12, 2013 around 2:38 p.m.,
Arcadia Police received a phone call from an anonymous person reporting he was at
Arcadia High School and he was going to start shooting students with an assault
rifle. Police officers arrived at the
campus while Arcadia Unified School District officials were notified. The school was placed on lockdown and a systematic
search was conducted. During the search a second call was received. The caller told the officers to back off or
they would get shot. The search
continued and no suspects or weapons were found. Shortly before 6:00 p.m. the lockdown was
lifted and the students were escorted to the east side of the Los Angeles
County Park to be reunited with family members.
The Arcadia Police Department is conducting a collaborative
investigation with allied agencies and the FBI as this incident is similar to
others recently occurring in the area.
