Apr. 24 - BCN - Vandals spray painted racist graffiti, lit fire to a storage closet and prompted a bomb scare overnight at Pacifica's Oceana High School, a school district official said this morning.
Pacifica police and North County Fire personnel responded to the school at 12:27 a.m. after a fire alarm began to ring, according to police. The fire was located in a storage closet in a weight room and extinguished.

Officers also found fresh graffiti on the exterior walls near the gym.

"It was a lot of racial slurs - comments about every group you can think of," said Mike Crilly, superintendent of Jefferson Union High School District. The graffiti included the phrase "white power," swastikas and slurs against black, Chinese and Filipino people, Crilly said.

"There was also a reference to a bomb, so we had a sheriff's bomb squad bring their dogs and check the entire school. In this day and age, you have to take it all seriously," Crilly said.

Authorities determined the school, located at 401 Paloma Ave., was safe long before students began showing up for classes. Automatic calls to students' homes informed parents of the incident.

The fire was isolated to a storage closet, but smoke and water damaged the school's weight room as well, Crilly said.

"All the walls are blackened and the room is out of commission at this point," he said.

The girls' locker room, which shares a ventilation system with the weight room, has also been closed due to smoke damage.

"We're going to start cleaning it up so we can get it back into shape," Crilly said of the two buildings. "It's more nuisance than real dollar damage, though clearly it's going to cost some money to get it repainted and cleaned up and replace the small items that were destroyed. The bigger concern is it puts it out of commission for the students for a while and that's not fair to the kids."

Crilly said that in the early 70s, Oceana High School's library was intentionally set afire, but there haven't been any major incidents since. The school hasn't had problems with racial tensions, he said.

"Graffiti pops up occasionally, but nothing to this extent. Over the years we've caught kids who have done it and we'll prosecute them," he said.

SF: MAN ARRESTED AT CITY COLLEGE WAS 53-YEAR-OLD STUDENT
04/24/07 4:05 PDT

SAN FRANCISCO (BCN)

A San Francisco City College student arrested this morning after allegedly ranting about killing his classmates was identified by the school's chancellor as 53-year-old David Lee.

Lee, a San Francisco resident, was arrested for making terrorist threats, said Dr. Phil Day, chancellor of City College. The incident took place in Lee's physics class, he said.

The disturbance was reported at 9:01 a.m., San Francisco Community College District Police Chief Carl Koehler said.

Lee, who was dressed in camouflage gear, "was screaming that he was going to kill everybody," Koehler said.

The confrontation moved from the classroom to the hallway and back to the classroom again, Koehler said. Nobody was hurt in the incident.

Campus police, who are unarmed, responded immediately and alerted San Francisco police.

"Students were sheltered in place on the floors below. We had officers with them waiting for the San Francisco Police Department to respond," Koehler said.

San Francisco police arrived four or five minutes later and took Lee into custody. A weapon was not found, Kohler said.

Campus police successfully followed their training for dealing with a gunman on campus, Kohler said.

"It's obviously been on everyone's radar," since the shootings at Virginia Tech, he said.

While campus police had never heard of Lee, Day said that following today's incident, students and teachers told investigators that Lee had acted strangely in the past.

"There had been some observations made by students and faculty that he seemed to have periodically exhibited some strange behavior. Not disruptive, just strange," Day said.

Day said that although nobody alerted school officials to Lee's behavior before this morning, both students and faculty have been sharing their concerns more frequently since the April 16 shootings at Virginia Tech.

"Since Virginia Tech, a number of faculty members have been a lot more forward with telling us who their problem students are," he said.

Those students are referred to the dean in the office of student rights and responsibilities, Day said.
