Replica gun leads to arrest at Anaheim school — officials praised and questioned about the resulting lockdown |
Authorities on Tuesday temporarily locked down Brookhurst Junior High School’s campus after a student was spotted with what turned out to be a replica handgun.
Officers at around 10:30 a.m. responded to the campus, at 601 N. Brookhurst St., after receiving reports of an “armed subject” at the school, according to an Anaheim Police Department statement. Faculty rounded up students, who were instructed to take shelter in their classrooms for at least two hours as officers searched the area.
Investigators determined that a 13-year-old boy was showing a friend a bb gun in a campus restroom when someone else saw it and called police, Sgt. Shane Carringer said.

Chargers players join Santa Ana elementary school students for shoe giveaway |
It’s not every day a professional football player sits down next to you, helps you try on the new pair of shoes you’ve selected from the store shelf and then laces them up for you.
But for 300 students from six elementary schools in the Santa Ana Unified School District that was the case Tuesday, Dec. 3, as players from the Los Angeles Chargers, members of the Los Angeles Charger Girls cheerleading squad, and staff helped find shoes for the kids at WSS in Santa Ana.
