School dad goes rogue

-

POLICE have shot a parent who held a 70-year-old teacher hostage for hours at his daughter’s California school.

Riverside police officer Ryan Railsback said a SWAT team entered a classroom at Castle View Elementary School. He said negotiator­s had been talking to the man but hadn’t heard from the teacher and feared for her life.

The man was later seen being wheeled away on a gurney into an ambulance. The teacher was taken to a hospital but didn’t appear to have any serious injuries.
