A jarring incident occurred near Armijo High School in Fairfield when a student was robbed at gunpoint on Monday afternoon. The student reported the crime shortly after it happened, revealing that he had been approached and had his necklace taken by force, just a stone’s throw away from the school grounds. Thankfully, he was unharmed, but such an event is enough to make anyone’s heart race.
The robbery took place around 3:30 p.m. in the area of Louisiana Street and Union Avenue, an unsettling reminder that danger can lurk even in familiar spaces. School resource officers responded promptly, taking over the investigation, but without a description of the suspect, the community is left on edge.
This incident highlights an essential conversation about safety around schools and the preventative measures that need to be in place to protect students. With so many young lives at stake, it’s crucial for parents and schools to work hand-in-hand to ensure the safety of our children. Let’s hope the investigation leads to some quick answers—because when safety becomes a concern, it impacts everyone. Would you feel secure sending your child to school after hearing about this?
