A female student at the McGuffey Pre-K to Grade 8 building on Tod Avenue Northwest pulled a fire alarm at 9:21 a.m. Monday, resulting in an evacuation of the school.

The girl, whose age was not provided in a police report, also threw her boots at two staff members while she was outside with everyone who was evacuated, police said.

A school-resource officer saw the girl run to the fire alarm near the main office and activate it, police said.

Police were going to check with Stanley Elkins, assistant county prosecutor for the juvenile division, to determine whether any criminal charges would be filed.
