A 15-year-old student with a highly realistic replica handgun sparked a swift response from police ahead of a California high school graduation on Friday afternoon.
"During the search Santa Rosa Police received information that the student may have fled campus as the lockdown was being initiated," police said in a statement."He was reported to have gone to the McDonalds located across the street from Santa Rosa High School." The student, whose name will not be released as a minor, is being held at Sonoma County Juvenile Justice Center on a charge of possession of a weapon on school grounds.
Seniors were practicing on the football field for the evening's graduation when the lockdown was put in place and were immediately rushed into the school's gymnasium, according to San Francisco ABC station KGO. Underclassmen were still taking final exams.
