Bay Park Elementary Lockdown Lifted, 1 Detained

One person has been detained in an incident that caused Bay Park Elementary School to be locked down Tuesday.

San Diego police say just before 3 p.m., they got reports of two men jumping over a fence at a vacant home near Clairemont Drive and Denver Street, possibly committing a burglary or break-in.

Officers surrounded the home in an effort to get the men out.

Officials asked that the school, which is not in session, be locked down during the incident.

By 4 p.m., police had detained one person, but it's unclear if that person is connected with the suspected crime. The lockdown was lifted shortly after.

Bay Park teachers are expected to return to work Wednesday, and students will not return to Bay Park Elementary until Sept. 8, when school starts again.

The school district says there were about four students and about 15 staff members on campus during the incident.
