About Malibu high school
In an email to parents Thursday evening, Malibu High School Principal Mark Kelly provided a summary of the events surrounding a bomb threat that resulted in a lockdown of Malibu High School and the adjacent Juan Cabrillo Elementary and Malibu United Methodist Schools for most of the school day Thursday. The school received a phone call at about 10:10 a.m. Thursday from someone believed to be a teenager. The person said a team of students was planting a bomb on the campus. The Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff’s Station was called and the campus was locked down. Students were evacuated from their classrooms into the school gyms. At 1:30 p.m., a search of the campus by a bomb-sniffing dog was completed and students were allowed to return to classrooms. The Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff’s Station says no arrests have been made and an investigation into who made the phone call is ongoing.

Shortly before the news of classes being called off, the school issued a shelter-in-place order on campus, which impacted about 800 students. At the time of the shelter mandate, Pepperdine required all community members on the Malibu campus to hunker down in the Tyler Campus Center or Payson Library. FOX 11 spoke with Pepperdine University students sheltering inside one of the libraries. Gabrielle Salgado said students were inside a fire-resistant campus library wearing masks as they watched the fire spreading through the building's windows. On Tuesday morning, the shelter-in-place order had been lifted and students were allowed to return to on-campus housing. In addition, between the firefight and poor air quality, all schools are closed in Malibu on Tuesday, Dec. 10.
