SJ high school student who allegedly made threats located, lockdown lifted

A shelter-in-place order at Evergreen Valley High School in San Jose was lifted Friday morning after a 15-year-old student suspected of making threats against the campus was located, according to San Jose police.

The student, who allegedly stated that he would "shoot-up" the school on a social media web site on Thursday night, is being detained and interviewed to determine if he will be charged with a crime, police Sgt. Jason Dwyer said. The teen was unarmed and did not resist officers, Dwyer said.

Police were alerted about the alleged threat Thursday night and were able to identify the student and search his residence, but did not locate any weapons or signs of a plan to attack the school.

The school was shut down around 9:30 a.m. today and students and staff were told to shelter in place after a staff member spotted someone he believed to be the student in question.

Busy Market and Church intersection in SF partially closed this weekend

Motorists traveling in the area of Church and Market streets in San Francisco this weekend should brace for detours and delays.

The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency issued a reminder this week that the busy intersection will be closed and Muni light-rail vehicles and buses will be rerouted to permit the replacement of the tracks at that intersection.

Starting at 7 p.m. today, crews will work around the clock until about 5 a.m. Monday to complete the work, which is part of the nearly two-year-long Church and Duboce Track and Street Improvement Project, which began last spring, according to the SFMTA.

Church Street will be closed in both directions at Market Street, and westbound Market Street will be closed to through traffic at Church Street.

Eastbound Market Street will remain open.

The construction will also partially shut down the J-Church and F-Market & Wharves lines and will cause the rerouting of the 22-Fillmore, 37-Corbett and N-Owl bus lines.

Inbound J-Church riders will need to transfer from the stop at Church and Market streets to underground Muni Metro service at the Church Street Station.

Outbound J-Church customers should take a K-Ingleside, L-Taraval, M-Ocean View, or S-Shuttle train to the Church Street Station.

Additional information about traffic and transit impacts can be found at www.sfmta.com/duboce or by contacting 311.
