Brief lockdown at Scotts Valley High School

There was a brief lockdown at Scotts Valley High School Wednesday morning after an empty rifle bag was found on campus.

The Scotts Valley Police and Fire Department responded and were able to locate the bag’s owner and lift the lockdown.

The student admitted to bringing the rifle bag onto campus and said he used the bag to carry his science experiment to class in. The student admitted it was a “stupid idea” and apologized.

The school lifted the lockdown at 10:54 a.m.
