“A Bronx school went into lockdown this morning after a campus aide overheard a student talking about his gun — a toy gun it turned out, officials said. The lockdown was called off after an hour and no weapon was found at PS 4, on Fulton Avenue and East 174th Street, officials said. School officials didn’t want to take any chances so they closed down campus, as heavily armed police swarmed PS 4 to search for that student. ‘It’s nerve racking. There are police officers here with assault rifles and there are helicopters flying around. It’s really scary out here.'”
