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.
