COLUMBUS, Ohio — A woman has been arrested after bringing a loaded gun onto the grounds of Weinland Park Elementary in Columbus Monday afternoon.

Columbus police said they were called about a gun on school property on the 200 block of East 7th Avenue just after 3:20 p.m. The caller said 32-year-old Shantel Mayle was outside with a gun and was going to shoot someone. 

When officers arrived, the principal pointed out Mayle in her Chevrolet Suburban which was parked on school grounds, police said.
