School officials reported around 8:39 a.m. Friday seeing the woman going into a resi- dence that shares a fence with the school just to the south, ac- cording to press release issued Monday by the Tehama County Sheriff's Office.

Salazar lead the deputies to a travel trailer in the back yard of the residence, where she then told them that she was carrying an unloaded shotgun and not a pellet gun, according to the release. Deputies recovered the shotgun and deter- mined it to have an illegal 16-inch barrel. At 9:13 the school lifted the lock down while Salazar was being questioned. While in the back yard of the residence dep- uties noticed a Dodge pickup reported as stolen from the Redding area. Salazar was accompanied by a man, who was questioned and released at the scene. The California Highway Patrol Air Unit as- sisted deputies while making contact with Sala- zar.

"We're not trying to make a ton of money," Pe- ters said. "This event is mostly for the community. Some of the parents don't have cars and aren't able to give their kids a gift so this is a way for the child to get a gift and for the parent to take home a memory."
