Cobb County elementary school resumes after security scare, lockdown

Heavy police presence near school in Cobb County

COBB COUNTY, Ga. — Classes have resumed after school officials say a man's cell phone holster was mistaken for a gun holster.

Channel 2's Nicole Carr was there as police were racing around Teasley Elementary in Smyrna Tuesday morning. The school was temporarily on a lockdown.

Cobb County told Channel 2 Action News a man walked toward the school with a gun.

Officers are meeting with the man.

Police said the man may only had a holster, not a gun.

The location is also a voting precinct.

Cobb County Schools said that it was a false alarm.
