ALAMEDA, CA — The Alameda Police Department has several officers stationed at Lincoln Middle School today following two incidents in which a young man visited the LMS campus last week and made some "disturbing comments," according to a joint statement from Alameda Unified School District and the police department.

"LMS staff have been briefed on the incident, including being made aware of the identity of the young man who made the comments, as have all AUSD principals," the statement, meant to reassure parents, continued. "At the end of the day today, APD will re-evaluate the deployment of officers on campus."

The district and police did not detail the nature of comments except to call them disturbing.

"AUSD Superintendent Sean McPhetridge, Chief of Police Paul Rolleri, and LMS Principal Michael Hans jointly worked to respond to this situation over the weekend," they report. "We would like to reassure all community members that officers with the Alameda Police Department (APD) have investigated the situation, interviewed the young man in question, and believe he does not pose a threat to LMS or any other campus in Alameda."

The person interviewed has agreed to stay away from the campus and has apologized for this comments.

"Please know that all AUSD schools drill for campus intruder incidences, and many APD officers are trained in school crisis intervention and response," the statement concludes. "We believe that as a community we are fully prepared to assess andrespond to a wide variety of circumstances so that we can keep students, staff, and the community safe."
