Authorities were called to South San Francisco High School on Friday afternoon following reports of a possible stabbing incident. Police announced that three people have been detained in relation to the incident.
The event happened at the school in the 400 block of B St. at around noon. After alerting the police right away, they responded and briefly locked down the campus. The lockdown was removed in the afternoon, and regular operations were restored.
Authorities have not revealed the type of injuries received or given information about the people who are being held. The public was informed by the South San Francisco Police Department, nonetheless, that there isn't a threat at this time.
Students were seen crossing the campus as police cars were positioned outside the school in aerial footage. Classes resumed when officials pronounced the situation under control, despite the initial panic.
Superintendent Shawnterra Moore of the South San Francisco Unified School District sent a statement to families in reaction to the event. A few kids were involved in what the statement called a "conflict-related incident" at the time. Fire and police departments were sent to the location. "At this time, we are working closely with local law enforcement to gather as much information as possible, which we will share as soon as it becomes available," the notification read.
Authorities and local law enforcement are still collaborating closely to obtain information on the occurrence. More information will be released when it becomes available, the public has been told.
About the three people in custody or the severity of their injuries, no further information has been given. The inquiry is still being conducted.
