DALTON, Ga. (AP) — A social studies teacher barricaded himself inside a locked classroom at a Georgia high school on Wednesday and apparently fired a single shot from a handgun, authorities said. No students were in the classroom at the time, and the only injury reported was a student who hurt their ankle running when Dalton High School was evacuated. Police spokesman Bruce Frazier said the teacher was taken into custody after a 30- to 45-minute standoff with officers. He was identified in a tweet as 53-year-old Jesse Randall Davidson, who also serves as the play-by-play announcer for the high school's football team. Police didn't immediately say why he fired the gun.
