One student was arrested Friday afternoon after police recovered a firearm from a vehicle on the San Juan High School campus, according to the Citrus Heights Police Department.
Lt. Wes Hernan said officers responded around 12:49 p.m. after multiple students were involved in an altercation on campus. Police and Safe Schools personnel arrived to investigate, and a staff member reported suspicions that a gun might be inside one of the students’ vehicles.
Officers located the vehicle, found a firearm inside, and arrested the student. The student was transported to juvenile hall, Hernan said.
According to police, there was no active threat to students, staff, or the community, and no lockdown or shelter-in-place was enacted during the incident. The San Juan Unified School District will handle disciplinary action for the student involved.
