On Monday afternoon, officials ordered a soft lockdown for Hart High School due to reports of a suspect with a gun.

Hart High School was placed on a soft lockdown Monday afternoon after a deputy assigned to the school received word that a student near the campus had a pellet gun.

“Hart High School was directed by Sheriff’s deputies to go on a soft lockdown because of a community incident,” said Dave Caldwell, spokesperson for the William S. Hart School District. “Within minutes, however, deputies had resolved the issue and lifted the soft lockdown.”

During a soft lockdown, campus security locks the gates and students are generally not allowed to leave, but the school continues to function as usual.

Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station deputies were alerted to the student and about 2:50 p.m. Monday.

The on campus student resource officer was able to locate the student and detain them.

Officials have not yet confirmed if they recovered a pellet gun or any weapon was found.
