KANSAS CITY, Kan. — A woman has been taken into custody by Kansas City, Kansas police after allegedly showing a gun to a parent who was dropping off her child at Junction Elementary School.

According to police, the incident began during parent drop off Tuesday morning. The suspect and the victim were both in vehicles waiting to drop off students at the school.

Police said the victim dropped her children off and the suspect’s vehicle pulled around her. When the line stopped, the victim left her vehicle and walked up to the suspect’s car.
