AMERICAN CANYON — American Canyon High School was locked down for an hour and a half at mid-day Wednesday after six students were robbed of their phones, shoes and jewelry at an off-campus location, the Napa County Sheriff’s Office reported.

The suspected robbers — two non-students from out of county, one armed with a gun, the other with a knife — were arrested a short time later, said Henry Wofford, a spokesman for the Sheriff’s Office and the American Canyon Police Department, which is staffed by sheriff’s deputies.

The robbers sprawled the students out on the ground and one of them put a gun to one of their heads and said, “Give it up or else I’ll kill you,’” Wofford said.

At one point, one of the students, fearing the worst, stood up and bolted and the others soon followed, Wofford said.

Although four of the students sustained injuries, none were life-threatening and there is no evidence that the gun was fired, Wofford said.

The students, who had left campus to get lunch at a 7-Eleven, were pulled over on a street in the Vintage Ranch subdivision, officials said.
