WICHITA, Kan. (AP) - A Wichita elementary school was briefly evacuated after a student brought a fake hand grenade to school in his backpack.
School district spokeswoman Susan Arensman says the evacuation at Enders Open Magnet Elementary School happened Friday after a second student learned of the fake grenade and told a teacher.
Arensman told The Wichita Eagle (https://bit.ly/1nSiqjZ ) in an email that police quickly determined the grenade was a fake. Students were back in class about 10 minutes after the school had a “fire drill” while the situation was being investigated.
Arensman says disciplinary action was taken against the student who brought the fake device to school.
