A report of a possible shooting Thursday afternoon at a South Los Angeles middle school prompted a lockdown and massive response from LAPD officers and campus police.<\/p>\n
The incident was reported around noon at Los Angeles Academy Middle School and STEAM Magnet, near the intersection of Slauson Avenue and Avalon Boulevard.<\/p>\n
Authorities said police detained one student who was accused by another student of possibly having a gun. However, investigators said no gun has been found, there were no shots fired and there were no injuries.<\/p>\n
The student remains detained by police and the school is on lockdown as authorities conduct a thorough search of the campus for any weapon, according to investigators.<\/p>\n
A Los Angeles Unified School District spokesperson released a statement that said:<\/p>\n
“The safety and wellbeing of our students and staff remain my top priority. I am calling to advise you that our campus remains on lockdown due to a report received from a community member regarding a possible weapon on campus and an alleged shooting. The administrative team acted swiftly to address the matter with local law enforcement.<\/p>\n
Please note that we have no reported injuries and no evidence of a shooting. Students and staff remain safe at this time, while law enforcement and region staff continue to respond.<\/p>\n
We are continuing to follow District protocols, and all students and staff are safe. We will provide you with updates as they become available. Thank you.”<\/p>\n
Video from AIR7 showed several patrol vehicles parked near the school’s front entrance as officers conducted a room-to-room search of the campus.<\/p>\n
