Olive Middle School in Baldwin Park is canceling class on Friday, one day after a staff member barricaded herself inside a building on campus.
The news comes from the Baldwin Park Unified School District, which said classes were canceled at the school Friday as the investigation into Thursday’s incident remains ongoing.
On Thursday, all students and staff at Olive were evacuated from campus after a female staff member “caused a disturbance” at about 9:45 a.m. and remained barricaded inside a building for several hours.
In the afternoon, SWAT officers were at the scene negotiating with the woman.
KTLA made several attempts to contact Baldwin Park Police Department throughout the evening, although no response was received. The scene appeared to be active as late as about 9:30 p.m.
As of Friday morning, it’s not yet clear if the person was armed, or if she’s been taken into custody. No students or staff members were injured during the situation.
All other Baldwin Park USD schools remain open Friday.
