NYC Teacher Ends 3-Hour School Standoff

The teacher who barricaded himself inside a Bronx middle school surrendered after a three-hour standoff with police, reports CBS station WCBS-TV in New York.

Francisco Garabitos had been told not to return to the New Millennium Business Academy Middle School because he was under investigation for reportedly hitting a student on Thursday.

The school's principal called police around 8:30 a.m. Friday to say he was there. Officers responded and the school was evacuated. The standoff ended when the teacher surrendered at about 11:30 a.m. The police department bomb squad was on the scene, but no explosives were found.

The building houses three schools. Hundreds of students in the Bronx building were sent to other schools for the rest of the day.

There are no injuries.
