(Sept. 19, 2018, 7:45 p.m.) -- At roughly 3:00 p.m. today (Sept. 19), a person reported with a gun in the area of 15th St. between Atlantic Ave. and Martin Luther King, Jr. Ave. (southern end of Poly High campus) triggered a major LBPD response, a precautionary lockdown of the Central LB campus, a safety sweep of the campus by officers, texted instructions to parents to meet their children at an off campus location (Anaheim/Atlantic) with students exiting the campus escorted by LBPD officers.

LBPD Public Information Officer Arantxa Chavarria tells LBREPORT.com that there's no indication the suspect(s) entered the campus; there were weapons recovered or reports of shots fired.
