A possible armed road rage confrontation led to a lockdown Wednesday morning at Los Angeles High School, where one person was taken into custody. The incident began when police received a call about a road rage report in the 1100 block of West Boulevard in the Mid-Wilshire area.
According to the Los Angeles Police Department, the report indicated that someone with what appeared to be a firearm threatened another person. The victim followed the suspect to the nearby high school campus on West Olympic Boulevard, where school police detained one of the individuals.
Authorities are currently searching the school for evidence, including possible weapons. A Los Angeles Unified School District spokesperson released a statement saying, 'Today, the school initiated a lockdown as we received reports of a possible weapon on campus.
We took immediate action, including notifying the Los Angeles School Police Department and Region West Operations for further investigation. The Los Angeles School Police Department and the Los Angeles Police Department are conducting a search of the campus for weapons.
We will provide additional information once it is available.' The lockdown has since been lifted, and the investigation is ongoing.
