A student at La Quinta High School in Westminster was arrested Tuesday morning after allegedly fleeing the campus and being found with a loaded firearm, police said.<\/p>\n
At around 10:00 a.m. on April 28, a school resource officer responded to a report of a student vaping on campus. The student was escorted to the principal\u2019s office without issue, but refused a search of his bag and ran from the school, police said in a news release.<\/p>\n
The officer detained the student off campus. During a search, authorities said they found a loaded firearm in the student\u2019s belongings.<\/p>\n
A check of the weapon later revealed it did not have a serial number, with police identifying it as a \u201cghost gun,\u201d according to the release.<\/p>\n
Investigators searched the student\u2019s home but did not find any additional firearms.<\/p>\n
The student was booked into Orange County Juvenile Hall on weapons-related charges. Authorities did not release his identity because the student is a minor. His age was not given.<\/p>\n
Police said they believe the incident was isolated and that there is no ongoing threat to the school or the surrounding community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A student at La Quinta High School in Westminster was arrested Tuesday morning after allegedly fleeing the campus…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":290627,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[163,165,164,7,723,138,100,611,136,6737],"class_list":["post-290626","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-anaheim","tag-anaheim","tag-anaheim-headlines","tag-anaheim-news","tag-california","tag-crime","tag-crime-and-public-safety","tag-news","tag-orange-county","tag-top-stories","tag-westminster"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/290626","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=290626"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/290626\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/290627"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=290626"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=290626"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=290626"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
