EL CAJON–Sheriff’s deputies Friday arrested student at Valhalla High School in Rancho San Diego for possession of a firearm on campus.  

The incident occurred at around 2:15 p.m. at the campus, located at 1725 Hillsdale Road, San Diego County Sheriff’s Sgt. Matt Cook said.

A Valhalla High School resource officer was on duty when a student reported seeing a male student with a handgun and a loaded magazine inside his class room.

The student was initially transported to his residence to be released to his mother when school staff located the weapon and a loaded magazine on campus. The magazine had 1-round in it and was inserted backwards into the handgun.
