Man Arrested In Mount San Jacinto College Gun Scare

by Contributing Editor

A Mount San Jacinto College student allegedly pointed a gun at students in the college cafeteria Wednesday, prompting a lockdown at the school and a wide-ranging search that ended when the man was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport.

Greg Abejon, 25, was arrested at LAX after checking in for a flight in an attempt to flee the country, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department.

Sheriff’s officials said they were initially alerted around 9:30 a.m. about a man with a gun on the Mount San Jacino College campus. Although the man allegedly pointed a gun at students, no shots were fired and no injuries were reported, officials said.

The report prompted a lockdown of the campus while a SWAT team scoured the campus. Classes were canceled for the day at all Mount San Jacinto College campuses. People on the main campus were told to shelter in place while the search was conducted.

Lockdowns were also ordered at three nearby San Jacinto Unified School District campuses — San Jacinto Leadership Academy, Clayton A. Record Junior Elementary School and Betty Gibble Learning Center. An all-clear was given at those campuses shortly before 1:30 p.m., and classes continued as usual, according to the district.

The lockdown at the college was lifted at about the same time, and students and faculty were allowed to leave the campus. Classes, however, remained canceled.
