POWAY, Calif. (CNS) - A student at Garden Road Elementary School in Poway allegedly circulated a video on social media depicting various images of weapons and violence, the San Diego County Sheriffs' Office said.
Deputies from the sheriff's Poway Station were called just before 10 a.m. Friday by the elementary school's administrators about the video and when they arrived at the school, began investigating the origin of the video, said sheriff's Lt. Colin Hebeler.
In the course of their investigation, detectives identified a student from Garden Road Elementary, who was related to the social media account that distributed the video.
All evidence indicated the student created the video alone and there are no outstanding suspects and no present threat to the school, students or the staff, the sheriff's department said.
