Lassen High School locked down after threat call

Lassen High School was locked down after a call claimed that a rifle and explosives were near the campus.

What happened

The call raised claims about two types of weapons: a rifle and explosives. The school then went into lockdown. The incident involves Lassen High School and centers on a reported threat near the campus.

Why a lockdown was used

A lockdown is a school safety action used when a possible danger may be inside or near a campus. It limits movement while officials respond to the reported threat. The call’s claims, rather than a confirmed account of weapons being found, are the basis for the reported lockdown.

What remains to be established

Details about who made the call, when it was made, what law enforcement found and how long the lockdown lasted have not been established in this report. Those facts would help clarify the response and whether any danger was confirmed.

Follow-up

The next official updates should address the school’s status, any law-enforcement findings and whether investigators identified a person connected to the call. Families and staff should rely on direct notices from Lassen High School or public-safety officials for instructions during the incident.
