COVINA - Police responded and investigated a student's comment about a firearm at Northview High School Tuesday afternoon.

Police were called to the high school, 1016 Cypress St., around 2:08 p.m. The student made “an unacceptable comment about a firearm,” according to Sgt. John Zumwalt of the Covina Police Department.

Police were told that a student might possibly be in possession of a gun on campus. Police and Covina detectives arrived and Northview was placed on lock down.

“A minor in question was contacted, a classroom was cleared, a student was detained. No gun was located,” Zumwalt said.
