An agitated, knife-wielding man who climbed onto the roof of a building at Chollas-Mead Elementary School today, prompting a lockdown and law enforcement standoff has been taken into custody.
The presence of the potentially threatening intruder at the campus in the 4500 block of Market Street in the Chollas View community was reported about 10 a.m., according to San Diego police.
Administrators had teachers secure themselves and their pupils in their classrooms.
Officers climbed onto the building where the man was perched and tried to persuade him to drop his weapon and surrender, SDPD spokesman Joshua Hodge said.
