School locked down as standoff ensues

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) -- An elementary school was locked down Wednesday while police negotiated with a man barricaded in a nearby townhouse to surrender for questioning in a murder case.
Students at Glenn Burton Elementary were locked in their classrooms and stayed there about an hour after school, police said.
The school reopened after Manuel Corella, 29, gave himself up. Nobody was hurt, police spokesman Matt Barnett said.
Investigators had been searching for Corella in connection with numerous armed robberies and carjackings. Corella also was wanted for questioning in the shooting death of a 23-year-old man on Thanksgiving Day.
