COBB COUNTY, GA — Three students are in police custody after a Cobb County school district spokesperson confirms to WSB Radio that Pebblebrook High School in Mableton went into a brief code red lockdown this afternoon after a fight and weapon was reported on campus.
The spokesperson said the school’s gun and bomb sniffing dogs of the Vapor Wake Canine Detection team were not on campus at the time of the incident, but staff acted quickly to secure the building.
No injuries were reported.
In a statement, school officials said:
“Earlier today, Pebblebrook High School briefly went into a Code Red lockdown due to an altercation and a reported weapon on campus. Police have apprehended all three of the students involved. Although none of our Vapor Wake Canine Detection teams were on-site at the time, our staff acted quickly to secure the building and all students are safe. As always, we encourage parents and students to report any safety concerns to the District’s Tipline via call, text, or email."
Last month, Cobb police arrested a man who allegedly broke into the building multiple times outside of school hours.
