They were here with guns drawn
again! where do you live? there were never any guns drawn??? please dont say things that arent true???
It is true.in the bordeoux condos. They pulled them out a few times and once at my truck. Don’t tell me it isn’t true when I sat on my balcony and watched.
the person in question was never at the Bordeaux condos. And if thats where you live, this young man is not your neighbors son.
Well they were searching here.
And I said I heard it was my neighbors son. Not it is. I heard. I’m wrong on that one. But guns were out. Come on over and ask all the neighbors. Why would I make up a dumb story like that.
i didnt insinuate you made it up. i insinuated that you were talking about something you knew nothing about factually. And you said, “i think”, not “i heard”.

Omgoodness!
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
Is the lock down lifted?
It lifted at about 3:10 this afternoon … All kids that walk home normally, and didn’t have a parents pick them up, were released to walk home when the “All Clear” was given by the sheriff’s around 3:30

oh boy
Since when is Plum @ Golden Valley considered Canyon Country?
Golden valley and plum Aka, pig farm… Big partys held there in the 80$
Golden Valley Rd & Newhall Ranch, is what I’m thinking.
Wow… the boundaries of Canyon Country is what you got from that? #Jaded
It’s a touchy subject in these parts.
Golden Valley does meet Plum Canyon in Saugus
Plus for a news information site they should know the exact city this took place since it wasn’t in Canyon Country.

That is awful ! So scarry
Any word if he’s been caught?
yes
Thank you!
If I’m not mistaken it’s my neighbors son. Waiting to hear more.
where do you live?? who are your neighbors? you don’t look familiar at all to me???
if you live in apartments, you arent a neighbor to this family.
Yea I just said I heard wrong on who it was. But the cops were here
Calm down. It isn’t that big a deal
Excuse me, it IS a big deal to the family of the young man & it would be to you if it were your son. Sharing information for safety of the community is one thing – gossip, here-say & homemade scenarios & people talking about something without the facts is another!
Does anyone know if they found him? Is the lockdown over?
yes

?
this is scary? … smh… still not enough detail to know what was going on..
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?
.
They put the kids school on lock down due to this.
.
Did the authorities find him?
yes
.
Did they get him
yes
Sarah Raye Raza did u see this??? I think you posted another link.

Crazy lil bro
yea super crazy

thats sad, sucks
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.
Did they find him?
yes, he was arrested last night.
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
Tf is wrong with people!!??
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?
School was on lock down? In my day they’d just have a sheriff on patrol
