Police Standoff With Armed Teen In Toledo School Ends Peacefully

A high school student in Ohio says there were some scary moments this morning when a disruptive 14-year-old flashed a pellet gun at a police officer, leading to a short standoff.

Police in Toledo say the student was later taken into custody without injury. 16-year-old Kayla Williams says the teen had been kicked out of class and sent to a room for students serving in-school suspensions. She says that's where the boy told a school police officer that he had a gun and briefly took it out of a bag. Williams says she was just a few feet away and that the gun looked real. She says students ran out of the room screaming. Police say the teen then was isolated in a hallway.
