Man Accused Of Bringing Gun To MSJC Caught At LAX: Police

SAN JACINTO, CA — A man was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport while trying to flee the country, hours after police say he pointed a gun at students in the Mt. San Jacinto College cafeteria Wednesday morning.

The suspect, Greg Abejon, 25, was arrested after trying to check in at the airport, the Riverside County Sheriff's Department said.

Lockdowns were lifted at the college after nearly four hours while police continued searching for the man.

The report was first made right before 9:30 a.m. at the school's main campus in San Jacinto, according to the sheriff's department. College officials say no shots were fired and no injuries have been reported.

"The investigation revealed that there was a male on campus with a gun," Sheriff's Dep. Robyn Flores said. "He entered the cafeteria where there were students, walked up to the table, pointed the firearm at them and then exited the building."

Following the report, school and police officials directed people on the campus to remain sheltered in place as a SWAT teams swept the area.

"Anyone seen walking will be taken in by law enforcement," school officials said in a message on the MSJC website. "For your safety, remain sheltered in place while law enforcement searches the campus."

"Stay out of area and follow [law enforcement] instructions," police said as they searched.

However, after hours of searching for the man to no avail, students were allowed to leave the campus just after 1 p.m.

"As the search of the campus continues, students and faculty are being released as buildings are deemed clear by law enforcement," the sheriff's department said on Twitter.

Sheriff's officials said the following schools were also placed on lockdown for part of Wednesday: Clayton Record Jr. Elementary at 1600 Malaga Drive, San Jacinto Leadership Academy at 1600 Malaga Drive and Betty Gibble Learning Center at 1251 Eagle Drive.

Classes at MSJC were canceled at the school for the day, according to school officials.
