Panicked parents rushed to a high school in San Bernardino County Tuesday after the campus was put on lockdown in response to a student that had a loaded firearm.
Administrators at Oak Hill High School, a part of Hesperia Unified School District, said they were notified about a student who was possibly armed with a gun around 11:30 a.m.
“All I heard was ‘code red, code red,’” freshman Deano Morales told KTLA’s Shelby Nelson. “Everyone thought it was just a drill.”
Students said their teachers began locking the doors and ordering everyone to get to the back of the classroom.
Freshman Xavier Ramos says he learned what was happening from a friend.
“Two people were in class, and one of them showed my friend his gun,” he said. “When he did, they got escorted by the police outside and they ran.”
