SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) — A nearly four-hour police standoff has ended peacefully after Springfield officers cornered a man who they say is connected to a gun incident at an area high school.

Lt. Chad Eutsler says the man fled from police Tuesday into an apartment. He says the man is believed to be involved in an incident last week when a gun accidentally discharged at Central High School. Police didn’t say how he is connected to the incident.

Eutsler says the man is not a juvenile, but declined to provide any other information about him. He surrendered at about 7 p.m.
