The arrests happened after police locked down an elementary school after a report that someone tried to get inside a building and ran off.
Three parents were arrested, two of whom were tased, during a confrontation outside an Arizona elementary school that had been locked down over a report of someone with a gun Friday, El Mirage police said.
That person was later taken into custody and was being evaluated by mental health professionals, police in El Mirage, a city northwest of Phoenix, said in a later statement. The statement did not say if any gun was found. “As a parent, I understand that philosophy, however, there were procedures that law enforcement and the school were following,” Chavez told reporters at the scene.
Police had converged on the elementary school after school staff reported that someone who appeared to have a handgun tried to enter an exterior building but the door was locked, and the man was chased off by staff, Chavez said.
