Nearby schools, such as Santa Clarita Elementary and Arroyo Seco Junior High, have been placed on lockdown as a precaution.

From what I’ve heard the suspect lives in the 27000 block of Seco, is on parole, is wanted and considered armed and dangerous. Why hasn’t LASD released his name and photo so we that live in the area will know who he is if we see him? There should be no confidentiality for a scumbag like this!
BECAUSE HE DOESNT LIVE HERE !!! SHERIFFS MESSED UP AND THEY COULDNT ADMIT IT SO THEY MILKED IT ALL DAY
BUILD THE DAMN WALL !!!!!!
Thank you! Its always the same race of people lately except for the white nutcases shooting up schools, but we have enough trouble dealing with them. We don’t need more criminals from other countries.
Your comment is to funny but I’m guessing since you clearly know nothing thus far about the whites shooting up schools telling you now will do no good IGNORANCE IS NOT BLISS!
Build the damn wall and hire more ICE agents and vote all democrats out! Oh wait ballot harvesting I forgot!
Perhaps more signs stating “this is a gun free zone” will prevent situations like this. NOTE: but by all means don’t arm anyone on campus. Criminals will always respect your signs #sitting-ducks supported by the left!
