High School Student Arrested for Firearm on Campus

A Mission San Jose High School student was arrested by Fremont Police Department on our campus while school was in session on Wednesday, May 3. A weapon (a firearm) was located in this individual's vehicle during a search by law enforcement.

Here is the rest of Fremont Unified School District Superintendent C J Cammack's email to the community:

"The safety of our students, staff and community is our highest priority, and we do not believe there was any active threat to the campus before or during the apprehension.

I have no additional information to share about this incident, which is part of an active Fremont Police Department investigation. FUSD takes these matters very seriously and I can assure you we will assign consequences as appropriate and permissible under the law and related education code.

I extend my gratitude to the Fremont Police Department and School Resource Officers for their response and support to ensure our schools continue to be safe for students and staff.

As always, we encourage you to be vigilant in regard to the safety of our school, and report any suspicious activity to law enforcement and our school administration as appropriate.

I appreciate your partnership in keeping our school safe."
