Threat Puts Occidental Schools On Lockdown

An alert was issued by the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office at 10:49 a.m. Monday about the lockdown at Harmony Union School District.

SONOMA COUNTY, CA β€” UPDATED: Everyone at a school campus in Occidental is safe after a voluntary lockdown this morning, according to the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office. "Threatening graffiti" in a school bathroom at 1935 Bohemian Highway prompted the lockdown, sheriff's officials said in an alert at 10:49 a.m.

Deputies said at 12:39 p.m. that the school was safe. The school is working with parents and the sheriff's office to resolve the issue.

The district consists of two schools β€” Harmony Elementary School and Salmon Creek School β€” that are both at the same 56-acre campus for pre-K through eighth grade.
