Her brother-in-law texted to her that an officer was outside his classroom door with a rifle.
School officials canceled classes for the remainder of the day at the center, which is located at 880 National City Boulevard.
10News reporter Steve Fiorina asked an officer at the scene if the suspect was in custody and was told 'no.'
