Lockdown Lifted At Moore Elementary School

MOORE, Okla. (AP) -- Classes have resumed at an Oklahoma elementary school that was briefly placed on lockdown after a teacher found a loaded handgun in his classroom.   Moore Police Department spokesman Jeremy Lewis says students at Plaza Tower Elementary School were not in any danger.  Police searched the building to make sure there were no more weapons.   Police say the teacher found the handgun in his chair when he arrived at work Monday morning. Students who were already at the school were taken to the cafeteria, while parents who were dropping off their children were turned away.   Lewis says there was a substitute teacher in the classroom Friday and police are trying to determine whether that teacher had any information about the gun.Lockdown Lifted At Moore Elementary School

TULSA, Okla. (AP) -- The Colorado Rockies have assigned three-time All Star pitcher Roy Oswalt to the Tulsa Drillers.

Oswalt is to start on Friday evening against the Midland Rockhounds at ONEOK Field.

The Drillers say Oswalt will throw about 75 pitches and will likely make between three and five starts for the Class AA ball club.

Oswalt signed a minor league contract with the Colorado Rockies on May 2.

The right-hander has spent 12 years in the majors, pitching for the Houston Astros, Philadelphia Phillies and Texas Rangers. Oswalt has a 163-96 career record.

The plan is for Oswalt to be fit enough to join the Rockies in mid or late June.

First pitch Friday is 7:05 p.m. CDT.
