School Resource Officer Reported to Corcoran Police Department

Incident details:

On 3-14-2023 at approximately 1157 hours I was contacted by school safety Officer James Peoples notified me of an incident if the girl’s gymnasium and requested my assistance. Upon my arrival I met with vice principal Ed Larkin who handed me a 9mm bullet. Larking told me some students were playing basketball in the gym. Other students were sitting in the stands, and an unknown student from the stands threw the bullet at a student playing basketball. The PE teacher noticed this and called for additional staff. There were approximately 34 students in the gym. I call for Officer Gilbert to assist me. Officer Gilbert and I conducted pat downs on every male student. Ed Larkin and safety Officer Peoples searched every student back pack. Principal Antonia Ramirez searched all of the female students and searched their back packs. We all met negative results. Officers and school administrators and staff members conducted a search of the gym and locker room for any weapons, firearms and contraband and met negative results. A closer inspection of the 9mm hollow point round revealed an indention in the primer of the cartridge case, caused when it is struck by the firing pin. I also discovered that the round was magnetic and the bullet itself had a cant or tilt. This led me to believe the casing had been previously fired. Someone placed a small magnet inside the casing, then seated a new bullet into the casing. The bullet was not seated correctly and displayed a tilt. I collected the round and booked it into CPD evidence locker #3 and attached a photograph in the property page. NFI
