Trouble At Arizona High School

Six armed people are reported to be holed up inside an Arizona high school located on Navajo tribal land in Ganado, Arizona. One man with a gun and five females with knives is all the AP story has for detail. There is no word whether hostages are involved. Am trying to find more information.

It was unclear whether the six were holding students hostage at Ganado High School or whether the six armed people were students.

A male was armed with a gun, while five females had knives, said Jim Benally, police chief for Window Rock, a nearby community.

Authorities said the incident began around mid-afternoon and that police sealed off the area around the school.

Ganado, a community of 1,500 people on Navajo Nation land, is 315 miles northeast of Phoenix.

UPDATE: Link should still be good to the updated story. The situation is still very confused, but it may involve hostages. Some students have still not returned home from school, long past when they should have. Authorities are not saying much at the moment. This school is inside the Navajo tribal lands and it appears the Navajo tribal police are involved. Any crime on reservation land is also automatically under FBI jurisdiction, as I understand it. There is no word that the FBI is on the scene yet, however.

UPDATE: Phoenix television station KNXV is now reporting there was no hostage taking and no armed people. There was a report of a weapon seen at the school and a lockdown was initiated by school officials. The FBI says there is no truth to the initial reports.

(FBI Spokeswoman Deborah) McCarley attributed earlier reports of a standoff to a misunderstanding that stemmed from poor cell phone coverage from the geographically remote area.

That sounds a bit on the weird side.
