Alhambra School Goes into Lockdown Amid Ongoing Search for Assault Suspect

Alhambra Elementary School on Lockdown During Search for Assault Suspect

An elementary school in Alhambra was placed on lockdown Tuesday as police conducted a search for a suspect linked to an assault.

Officers diligently patrolled the streets north of Garfield Elementary School in a bid to locate the individual. Specific details regarding the assault case have not been disclosed at this time.

The lockdown was implemented shortly before the scheduled release of students for the day. Consequently, students were released to their parents and guardians one at a time as the situation unfolded.

NewsChopper4 captured aerial footage of the scene, showing officers from both the Alhambra and San Marino Police Departments actively searching the area with firearms drawn. However, authorities did not provide a description of the suspect.

Residents living nearby have been advised to secure their homes by locking doors and windows until further notice.
