April 25, 2024 (Ramona) – A phone call to the Sheriff’s communications center yesterday around 1:40 p.m. reported an individual armed with a firearm outside Ramona High School. The incident prompted a lockdown of the high school and other nearby schools while deputies from Ramona and Poway stations searched the campus.
The call appears to have been a false report or “swatting” incident to provoke a law enforcement response. Nothing suspicious was found.
The lockdown was lifted, but deputies stayed on campus until the end of the school day. Detective from the Ramona substation are investigating the phone threat.
The Sheriff’s department thanks the community for their cooperation and understanding during this event.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Ramona Sheriff’s substation at (760)738-2491.
