As a parent with a child at San Marcos High School, I received this notice a few minutes ago:
“San Marcos School on Lockout
At about 10:50 a.m. today, we received a report that El Camino Elementary was on lockout due to a report of gunshots heard near the campus. In collaboration with the District Office and the Sheriff’s Department, San Marcos High School called for a lockout. We will update you on the development as soon as we can.
Kip Glazer
Principal”

-
San Marcos High on lockdown, 10:45 a.m. Monday
-
Hearing reports of 5 or 7 gunshots in the Granny Flats area near Turnpike Vons. Sheriff’s are on the scene.
-
Tons of Sheriff’s Deputies near San Marcos High
-
What’s up near Vons off Turnpike? A lot of cops blocking off the area.
Was the choice to make an emergency call an honest mistake? Or was it completely bogus? A bogus call with a valid rationale to legitimize it? Will we ever know?
The library call was in Carpinteria. On Carp Ave.
This sounds like the bogus lockdown call at Solvang School last week. What’s going on lately? Is there a way to detect false alarms BEFORE freaking out everybody? Maybe get it verified by a school principal or other credible staff person vs a student who thinks they see the boogie man. Really!
I did not post the Solvang Lock Down I waited for that very reason I did not want a bunch of parents freaking out unless there was reason to.
Last August I read a report about bulletproof backpacks for adults and schoolchildren. The packs are heavy. The weight would make it difficult for the kids to run and hide. Kids might attempt to try and access their backpacks (if the packs aren’t handy) rather than taking cover. On and on. Imagine telling your child s/he needs to have a bulletproof backpack for school safety? What HAS the world come to?
Not seeing anything here but SO has shelter in place for large area in Goleta and evacuating apartments in 6700 block of Encina. Also calling CHP for assistance.
Encina Road or Lane?
Road, may be over now.
Granny Flats is not the only reason why the school has been on Lock Down for that is just one problem property.
SMHS is on LOCKOUT, not LOCKDOWN. That means there is a threat OFF campus. Lockdown is if there is a threat ON campus.
can you please rephrase so people do not get the wrong idea?
Im assuming your daughter is in the library listening to the scanners of what is going on somewhere else.
All code 4 cancel copter.
Also listening to an online scanner, hearing law enforcement do a Code 33 and said “incident has been completed.” Not sure what this means.
It said “clear the Code 33 which is emergency traffic only. It’s all over, nothing found back to normal.
Code 4 is no further assistance is needed.
So first one of the year–what are we, one month in?
Just great. How many times are the kids going to be freaking traumatized this year? This crap doesn’t happen in the vast majority of the first world. The morons have truly taken over this country–well it was fun while it lasted.
So we have a difference of opinion but you might change your mind if you or someone you cared about was shot by some mad person right out of the blue.
We just need GUN CONTROL. NOW.
Parents freaking out? Why wouldn’t they with the school shootings/killings in this country in recent years. Over caution is better than having the possibility of your kid being killed, or having them watching friends killed.
The school went on lockout because someone possibly may have maybe heard a bang that could possibly maybe be a gunshot. The last time I remember this happening it was because some 1/2 blind person saw a man with a radiator hose on campus and mistook it for a gun (a radiator hose. Really?!??
I blame all this knee-jerk responses on 1 or 2 hysterical parents who evidently need therapy to deal with their irrational fears & extreme anxiety.
At 08:46 pm, Yes I am well aware of that, I posted the all clear for San Marcos over 9 hours ago. “Not anything here” means means it’s something new. I said Encina in Goleta, not San Marcos in Noleta. If people would read previous comments before jumping in it would really lessen the confusion here.
There have been a number of close calls in SBUSD with kids who had weapons and plans but were stopped. To the people who dismiss parents who care about their kids’ LIVES, WTF is wrong with you?
Without fail, the houseless/homeless get dragged into every issue. As if it is their fault the NRA and its’ Russian financiers have a lock on the puppet traitor POTUS who OK’s mentally ill people running around with AK’s and Glocks. Someone’s car backfires and the convo turns to those who are so plighted that Granny Hill is their best option. And, for the record, the Sheriff’s Dept did a massive sweep there a while back, and the vast majority of unhoused citizens stayed as far away from there as possible after a homeless person wasbeaten to death by a housed person. So how about not agitating yet again against these the most vulnerable people and looking to the actual issue here, which is the daily proliferation of the weapons of war into the hands of anybody with a hundred bucks or so who wants one?
