By Signal Staff  Mint Canyon Elementary School went on lockdown Wednesday morning after it was reported that someone with a pellet gun was firing at the school from a nearby mobile home park, according to the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.  The incident was first reported at approximately 10 a.m., and shortly before 11 a.m. it was reported that a suspect was being detained.   Sheriff’s deputies were at the school Wednesday morning taking a vandalism report, and as they were there, someone began firing at the school with a BB or pellet gun, said Detective Kevin Fleck of the SCV Sheriff’s Station.  Fleck added that the school went on lockdown and numerous deputies were in the area working to locate the suspect.   According to first responder radio dispatch traffic, the suspect was described as a white man with long brown hair. A command post was established at the nearby Canyon Country Little League facility. L.A. County Fire Department personnel were dispatched to the scene shortly after 10 a.m. and were positioned at the command post in case they should be needed.  Catherine Kawaguchi, superintendent of the Sulphur Springs Union School District, said shortly after 10:30 a.m. that no students or staff had been harmed.  “The school is on lockdown and the students and staff are safe,” Kawaguchi said, adding that it was fortuitous that deputies happened to be on campus at the time of the incident, taking a report on a vandalism incident. “It was good for us that they were there, and they are handling it.”    This is a breaking news story and additional information will be added as it becomes available.   Sheriff’s deputies were already at Mint Canyon Elementary School on Wednesday morning, taking a vandalism report, when someone began shooting a pellet gun at the school, according to the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.
