I need more info!!!!! Please if you know anything about this school please add it! There was an officer involved shooting on campus, which resulted in a student being killed

Hey I don't know how to do all the fancy page-editing myself but I know the story:

April 17, 2008, Sophomore Jessie Carrizales, 17 years old, attacked Fresno Police Officer Junus Perry with a modified baseball bat. The officer was struck on the head and fell, during which time the magazine of his primary weapon came loose. Fearing for his safety and for the safety of other students, officer Perry drew a backup weapon from an ankle holster and fired, killing the student. The student had a history of mental problems, but was not known to the officer because of privacy laws. The incident prompted Fresno's mayor - Alan Autry - to declare an overhaul on the city's mental health services.
