Vallejo police arrested a man attempting to bring a concealed firearm into a high school graduation ceremony, just days after a fatal shooting at a similar event in Fairfield. - The suspect was observed by officers displaying behaviors consistent with carrying a concealed firearm, including a weighted L-shaped bulge under his clothing.

- He became hesitant upon seeing security screening and metal detectors, then returned to his vehicle to store belongings before being detained. - A loaded, unregistered handgun with an extended magazine was recovered from a backpack in his vehicle.

- The suspect, an Antioch resident, was not legally allowed to possess the firearm due to his age and was booked into Solano County Jail. The arrest highlights ongoing efforts to reduce gun violence in Vallejo, which has seen a recent decrease in such incidents.
