Yesterday afternoon, a threat at Coronado High School led to a temporary lockdown of the campus and nearby schools. The City of Coronado Police Department reported that a 15-year-old student was alleged to have made threats against the school, which brought police to the scene shortly before 2:00 PM. A post on the City of Coronado Police Department's Facebook page described the situation, clarifying that although no weapons were seen with the student, the lockdown was a necessary precaution.
Following the alert, police officers quickly located the involved student at a park near the school's perimeter. The high school remained on lockdown as officers, backed by SDPD K9 units, scoured the campus grounds. The department's posting confirmed that no weapons were found, and the lockdown was subsequently lifted. The swift response and cooperative efforts between school staff and the police minimized potential disruptions.
The student in question was apprehended and taken to Juvenile Hall, facing charges of making criminal threats, as noted under P.C. 422. Coronado Police Department's detectives are continuing their investigation to untangle the full scope of the incident. The department's social media update closed with an acknowledgment of the community's highest priority being safety, commending the cooperation of school personnel, students, and their families.
