Carr was found at his girlfriend's apartment, alone, and without any weapons.

TRENDING NOW:

This happened as classes were being let out for the day so both the high school and middle school buses were rerouted because they could not enter the Pleasantview Homes area.

According to the district's superintendent, the buses were brought back to the buildings for family to pick up students.

The law enforcement matter was resolved before elementary buses were dismissed so those buses went out on time, but may have been slightly delayed.

Carr is now facing additional charges because of Monday's incident.
