ROSEMEAD, Calif. (KABC) -- A heavy police presence descended on Rosemead High School Thursday out of concerns about a possible gunman showing up on campus.

The incident began with a call about an individual with a gun at a home in the area. The person may have connections to the school and officers were sent to campus as a precaution.

Officers were seen searching through the campus and corralling students into one location for their safety.

Although the initial reports indicated that the gunman had shot a family member, the home where the call originated was searched and no victims were found, according to fire department officials.

Students were later allowed to exit campus.
