Desert Mirage High School was placed on a temporary lockdown Wednesday following a report of an armed individual nearby.

Deputies responded to a report of an armed subject at 11:57 a.m. Wednesday in the 86000 block of 66th Avenue, according to Sgt. Robert Martinez of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department.

Arriving deputies contacted a juvenile who was found in possession of a “replica firearm,” Martinez said. The suspect, who was not identified due to the person’s age, was taken into custody without incident.

No injuries were reported.

The investigation was ongoing.
