LA HABRA, Cali. - Students at a California high school tackled a gunman and managed to take his weapon from him after he brandished it at the school.

La Habra High School went on lockdown Tuesday morning after a student reportedly pulled out a .22 caliber gun in the school, police said.

According to La Habra Police, two freshmen in the class ran up to him, wrestled him and got the weapon out of his hands.

The student, who was not named, was placed into a juvenile detention center. It's unclear whether the student is facing charges.
