Tom Vernon


crimescenetapeSanta Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station deputies were searching for a man who allegedly stabbed his father Tuesday near Golden Valley Road and Plum Canyon Road in Canyon Country.

A containment area was set up near Holly Drive and Dedre Lane. It was later broken down, but deputies continued to search for the suspect late Tuesday afternoon, , said Lt. Tom Bryski with the SCV Sheriff’s Station.

Plum Canyon Elementary School was placed on lockdown after the incident occurred, but was subsequently taken off of lockdown, Bryski said.

The 20-year-old man allegedly cut his father’s hand, said Bryski. The father was taken to the hospital.

  10. My kids were in that lockdown… Scary for the people in the complex, but far more scary for the kids in the school… They were scared, crying and shaken… Not knowing was the worst… I was on campus with my sons class… They didn’t know if someone was on campus ready to shoot, how long we would be there, and if there was any protecting on campus ready to save them… Kids minds go crazy with the unknown, as well as the parents… Thank God I had an outside connection getting info on what was going on… I was able to calm the surrounding kids … Stressful day for the little ones for sure

  11. Since when is Plum @ Golden Valley considered Canyon Country?

  12. That is awful ! So scarry

  13. Emily Crase says:

    Any word if he’s been caught?

  14. Sondi Okray says:

    If I’m not mistaken it’s my neighbors son. Waiting to hear more.

  15. Does anyone know if they found him? Is the lockdown over?

  16. this is scary? … smh… still not enough detail to know what was going on..

  17. At around 2:20 p.m. the intersection of Bouquet Cyn and Valencia was intermittently “frozen” when about 12 police cars with flashing lights turned from Valencia onto Bouquet. I wonder if this is what they were responding to?

  18. They put the kids school on lock down due to this.

  19. Did the authorities find him?

  20. Liz Nemeth says:

    Sarah Raye Raza did u see this??? I think you posted another link.

  21. Any up dates on this? My son was taking me to lunch & 3 cop cars took the new road (Golden Valley from Newhall Ranch Rd)heading to Plum…we knew something was up.

  22. people really shouldnt talk about things when they have no freaking clue whats going on! if you dont have the facts straight 100%, probably best to shut up! slander can be a nasty lawsuit :) remember, this is someones son people – could very well be yours! BE NICE

  23. Tf is wrong with people!!??

  24. Why is everyone freaking out? No one knows what really happened. This kid attacked his father for a reason. He wasn’t after anyone else. The lockdown seems a bit unnecessary. Was this kid defending himself against a abusive parent?

  25. Ben Green says:

    School was on lock down? In my day they’d just have a sheriff on patrol
