Some sort of fight between a father and son at a home near a high school in north San Diego County prompted a lockdown at the campus Wednesday, the San Diego County Sheriff's Department (SDSO) confirmed.
The SDSO told NBC 7 Twin Oaks High School, located at 158 Cassou Rd. in San Marcos, near North Twin Oaks Valley Road, was placed on a precautionary lockdown around 9:15 a.m.
Police officers and deputies were called to the area around the school after a father and his son allegedly got into an altercation at a residence near the campus. An SDSO official told NBC 7 there was a report that weapons may have been involved in the fight, though further details were not given.
The SDSO said deputies asked the school to go on lockdown, as a precaution, until the situation was resolved. Just before 10 a.m., the SDSO said the incident had been resolved.
A communications coordinator for the San Marcos Unified School District (SMUSD) told NBC 7 Twin Oaks Elementary School -- located at 1 Cassou Rd., about a half-mile away from the high school -- had been placed on "hard lockdown" due to police activity in the area. That lockdown had been lifted as of 10 a.m.
The SMUSD spokesperson told NBC 7 deputies were in pursuit of a suspect in the area surrounding the school but that suspect had been taken into custody.
The district spokesperson said there was never a lockdown at Twin Oaks High School, only at the elementary school. The lockdown was issued at the request of deputies.
