The incident began around 8 a.m. Friday (Nov. 7), when the Lancaster Sheriff\u2019s Station received a 9-1-1 call from the parent of a Palmdale High School student, according to Sgt. Theresa Dawson of the Lancaster Sheriff\u2019s Station.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe parent advised she saw several threats on social media stating there was going to be a shooting at Palmdale High School,\u201d Dawson stated. \u201cLancaster Station\u2019s School Safety Unit immediately placed Palmdale High School on lockdown and responded to investigate the threats.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dawson said investigators were not able to \u201cidentify the origin or legitimize the original threats,\u201d so the school lockdown was released. Several parents said the lockdown was lifted around 9 a.m., but then the school was placed on lockdown again, from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdditional threats were posted via social media depicting firearms,\u201d Dawson stated. \u201cBased on the additional threats, Palmdale High School was again placed on lockdown.\u201d<\/p>\n

This time, school investigators were able to identify the person making the threats via social media, according to Dawson.<\/p>\n

She said the investigation led deputies to the 38800 block of 4th Street East in Palmdale, where deputies found the 14-year-old boy.<\/p>\n

\u201cDeputies contacted and detained the subject, who admitted to making the threats,\u201d Dawson stated. \u201cOne replica \u2018Airsoft\u2019 semi auto handgun was recovered at the subject\u2019s home.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 14-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of making criminal threats, and the investigation is being handled by Lancaster Sheriff\u2019s Station detectives, according to Dawson.<\/p>\n
