Twelve Bridges High School was on lockdown after traffic stop

Twelve Bridges High School was placed on a 30-minute lockdown Tuesday after a suspect attempted to flee from the Lincoln Police Department during a traffic stop, according to Western Placer Unified School District spokesperson Emma Oehler. The traffic stop was conducted at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday at Twelve Bridges across from Walgreens, according to the Lincoln Police Department. As the officer approached the vehicle, according to the Police Department, the passenger door opened and a male subject fled on foot toward the area of Twelve Bridges High School and Twelve Bridges Library. The officer "lost sight of the subject," according to the Lincoln Police Department, so Lincoln Police contacted Twelve Bridges High School as a precaution. The suspect had active warrants out of Placer County and just left Walgreens with stolen items, according to the Lincoln Police Department.. At 11:45 a.m. Tuesday, the Lincoln Police Department notified Twelve Bridges High School staff of police activity near campus and recommended they initiate their standard response protocol "lockdown." "Our standardized emergency response protocol uses a series of five scenarios that clearly outline response instructions," Oehler said. "By using language commonly used by law enforcement and first responders, emergency response is consistent and collaborative." Oehler said the lockdown was very successful. "Students and staff responded quickly and our campus remained safe throughout the entirety of the nearby activity," Oehler said. According to the district and police department, there was no imminent threat to the Twelve Bridges campus. "The school lockdown was just precautionary," said Lt. Keith Johnson of the Lincoln Police Department. "The students and staff were never at risk." Twelve Bridges High School was on lockdown shortly after 11:45 a.m. to 12:18 p.m. Tuesday, according to the school district. Lincoln Police Department said the suspect is known but still outstanding. Charges will be forwarded to the Placer County district attorney.
