Child accused of bringing gun to school

A student at Woodrow Wilson High School in Long Beach was arrested for bringing a firearm on campus, officials said.

LONG BEACH, Calif. - Authorities said a student was arrested for bringing a firearm to Woodrow Wilson High School in Long Beach on Friday, prompting the school to go on lockdown.

Officers with the Long Beach Police Department responded to the campus just after 10:50 a.m. When officers arrived, they contacted a campus safety officer who had detained one of the students.

The suspect was arrested and transported to Juvenile Booking.

A school official confirmed with FOX 11 that law enforcement searched the campus and students were safe.

No injuries were reported.

The incident comes after Redondo Union High School closed its campus on Wednesday after back-to-back lockdowns when two different sophomores brought guns on campus. The school reopened Thursday with increased safety measures.
