The caller reported that there had been a shooting at Amargosa Creek Middle School. The campus was placed on \u201clock down\u201d for several hours while over a dozen deputies from Lancaster station conducted a room by room search of the school. During this same time, the staff at nearby Lancaster High School initiated a voluntary \u201clock down\u201d of their campus.<\/p>\n<p>It was determined that the call was a prank, and that there was no emergency at either campus.<\/p>\n<p>During the weekend, Lancaster Station received several tips from the \u201cCrime Stoppers\u201d tip line regarding the incident and the identity of the caller. On Monday (April 29, 2013) Lancaster Station School Resource Deputy Gruppie, arrested a 13 year old Amargosa Creek Middle School student who admitted making the call.<\/p>\n<p>The student was arrested for making a false emergency call, and was released to his parents. If convicted, the student faces up to one year in a juvenile detention facility. Additionally, his parents could be held responsible for the cost of the emergency response by Law Enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>Parents are urged to educate their children on the seriousness of making \u201cprank emergency\u201d calls.<\/p>\n<p>Lancaster Station would like to thank the staff and students of both schools for their professionalism and cooperation during this incident.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Previous related story: <a title=\"Prank call locks down two schools\" href=\"https:\/\/theavtimes.com\/2013\/04\/25\/prank-call-locks-down-two-schools\/\" target=\"_blank\">Prank call locks down two schools<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LANCASTER \u2013 Authorities have arrested a suspect in connection with the prank 911 call that triggered two school lockdowns last week.
