Police activity prompted a short lockdown at Santa Maria High School Wednesday afternoon.
A spokesperson with the Santa Maria Joint Union High School District says the precautionary lockdown began around 1:20 p.m. and was lifted 10 minutes later.
“ It appears the SMPD was handling an incident on South Broadway near the campus,” the spokesperson said.
Santa Maria police say they received a call regarding someone with a knife, but add that it appears to be unsubstantiated as nothing came of it.
District officials say all students and staff are safe and school activities are back to normal.
