The SAPD reported via X about three hours ago that they were at the scene at the school formerly known as McFadden Intermediate and now called the McFadden Institute of Technology, located at 2701 S. Raitt St. to investigate a threat of an active shooter.
They investigated the matter with their partners at the Santa Ana School Police and the OCFA.
The police asked residents to avoid the area and the school was locked down.
The SAPD completed their sweep of the school and found no threats, two hours ago. There are no reports of injuries, gunfire, or individuals with weapons.
The school was evacuated as a precautionary measure.
The students were escorted and later released from Christ Our Savior Church located at 2000 W. Alton Ave. Updates to come.
The SAPD found no evidence of an active shooter.
The SAPD later announced that “appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation during this investigation.”
As usual the SAUSD reported nothing on their Facebook and X pages.
It should be noted that a majority of the current SAUSD School Board members are anti-law enforcement and have advocated to remove school police from campuses.
wow, way to be biased when reporting a threat
It would be nice if the district actually reported these threats…
Another scare for the kids and another fake show by overpaid police. Instead of using money to fight homeless and gangs… the police choose to put on fake show at McFadden and they already did fake show at Segerstrom High.
Police are there because of a threat! What if there was a shooter? Who would handle it if there were no police? There would be a whole lot more school shootings and a lot more injuries and fatalities?
Speaking of a show– how about the name change from McFadden Intermediate to McFadden “Institute of Technology”. This is the type of nonsense our school boards engage in to distract form the low standards and poor quality education they provide.
But I’m glad nobody got hurt in this terrifying incident. At the end of the day that’s what matters most– I’m sure we can all agree on that.
