Cupertino Middle School is in a lockdown situation after a student reported seeing a suspicious person on or near the campus, a district spokesman said.

"Cupertino Middle School is in lockdown, and West Valley (Elementary) is in lockdown, too, as a precaution because of its proximity," said Jeremy Nishihara, spokesman for Cupertino Union School District.

Police are in the process of clearing the area and students are "safe and supervised," Nishihara said.

Nishihara added that there were rumors of a shooting on or near the campus, but there was no shooting.
