Two students dressed in bulletproof vests prompted a lockdown of the College of the Canyons Valencia campus, however the lockdown has since been lifted.

“(The students) failed to let their teacher know (that they would be wearing bulletproof vests) ahead of time,” said Shirley Miller, public information officer for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station, adding that the action was not illegal. “It was just a misunderstanding.”

Campus staff and the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station were notified of the students after a witness reportedly saw the two throw an empty case into trash can, said Miller.

The students were detained and questioned, however no arrests were made, Miller said.

The situation has been resolved and classes will resume as scheduled, according to a COC alert sent to students.

The incident was initially reported as a protest, however Miller confirmed no protest occurred.
