LIVINGSTON COUNTY -- Authorities say they responded to the Chatsworth grade school after a call reporting a possible person with a BB gun. A deputy was dispatched and searched for a suspect, but couldn't locate anyone.

The officer talked to the school's principal. As a precautionary measure, all the children in the Boys and Girls Club meeting at the school were sent home after their parents were called. No one was hurt.
