COCOA, Fla. (AP) Authorities say a Florida man shooting a BB gun at a squirrel prompted police to swarm a neighborhood and place a nearby school on lockdown. Florida Today reports that Cocoa police responded Thursday morning following a 911 call about a man pointing a rifle at a house. Officials locked down Cambridge Elementary School as a precaution. Police say about half a dozen officers surrounded the home and ordered the man to step outside. The man explained that a squirrel had been “wreaking havoc” in his attic and showed officers the BB gun. No charges were filed. The squirrel’s fate wasn’t known.
