ELKTON, Ore. - On Wednesday, October 2, 2024, at 1:38 pm, 9-1-1 dispatchers received a call from the Elkton High School reporting they were in a self-initiated lockdown. The principal reported the lockdown was the result of a student on campus with a firearm. At the time of the call, the student's whereabouts were unknown.  Multiple deputies, along with Sutherlin Police Department and Oregon State Police responded to the scene. While responding, the school called back to indicate they believed the student was no longer on campus. Other area schools were placed in lockdown until the student could be located.  Deputies eventually contacted the student in the area of Azalea Drive in Elkton. A backpack was recovered, and a Glock replica BB pistol was located inside.  The student, a 17-year-old male, was taken into custody and lodged at the Douglas County Juvenile Detention Center on the following charges:  Disorderly Conduct I; Menacing x2; Probation Violation.  The Sheriff's Office is continuing its investigation working closely with school officials and agency partners.
