Gabrielino High School Resumes Normal Operations After Bomb Threat

San Gabriel, CA - Gabrielino High School in San Gabriel has reopened and resumed normal operations after a bomb threat forced a lockdown and evacuation of the campus on Tuesday morning, according to the San Gabriel Police Department.

The police department said it received a call around 10:45 a.m. from an anonymous caller who claimed there was a bomb at the high school located at 1327 S. San Gabriel Blvd. The police responded to the scene and placed the school on lockdown as a precautionary measure, while also advising the public to avoid the area.

The police conducted a thorough search of the campus with the assistance of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department bomb squad and K-9 units, but found no evidence of any explosive devices or threats to the school. The lockdown was lifted around 3:20 p.m. and the students and staff were allowed to return to the school.

The police department also thanked the school district, the fire department, and the sheriff's department for their cooperation and support during the incident.
