Crenshaw High School was placed on lockdown Wednesday following a “large disturbance” on campus, authorities said.
The school at 5010 11th Ave. was placed on lockdown “due to a large disturbance involving 100+ students on the campus,” according to a statement from the Los Angeles School Police Department, which reported late Wednesday morning that officers had “restored order” on the campus.
According to CBS2, the incident began about 9:45 a.m. and no one was hurt.
In a statement to Channel 2, the Los Angeles Unified School District suggested the situation may have been related to an incident at the school Friday, when two adults “entered the campus without authorization,” prompting a lockdown.
“Reportedly, the adults, on their own, intended to address a conflict between two students. As this incident is an ongoing police investigation, and to safeguard the confidentiality of our students, we cannot comment further on this matter,” according to the statement. “The school followed district protocol, and in an abundance of preventative caution, several added safety protections for students and the school community are being implemented. All students and staff are safe.”
