Police in Santa Rosa on Friday confirmed the early morning arrests of two teenagers with an altered firearm after receiving a tip about a potential planned shooting on the Montgomery High campus.
According to the release issued by the Santa Rosa Police Department, early Friday morning at approximately 12:30 a.m., department's communications center received a 9-1-1 call from an agent with reporting a person sent an anonymous tip through the smartphone app regarding a potential shooting at Montgomery High School.
The tipster provided enough information through the app that an astute Santa Rosa police officer immediately identified one of the involved students based on a previous interaction during which the student in question was arrested for possession of a concealed, loaded handgun in a city park on July 4 of this year.
At approximately 2:55 a.m., officers responded to the 1100 block of Fourth Street in Santa Rosa to contact the student in question and conduct a probation search. Both that student and a second Montgomery High School Student were located at the residence. During the search, officers found a loaded .38 Special revolver with an altered serial number in addition to several articles of clothing and accessories commonly associated with gang affiliation.
School officials and police continued working into the early morning hours until both the school and police were confident the threat had been mitigated. The release said that it was"not believed there was ever a threat of an active shooter on campus" and authorities did not think there are any outstanding suspects related to the incident.
