SOUTHLAKE — A suburban Fort Worth elementary school was evacuated for more than an hour Tuesday after a fourth-grader showed up with a hand grenade, authorities said.

The grenade brought to Old Union Elementary School in Southlake still had the pin in it but appeared to be hollow, Carroll school district spokeswoman Julie Thannum said. A bomb squad removed the device from a classroom.

"The boy wasn't mad at anyone," Cpl. Mike Bedrich of the Southlake Department of Public Safety told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. "He just thought it would be cool to bring it to school."
