Woman kills self at N. Ind. elementary school

CONVERSE, Ind. — Police say a woman who killed herself outside a northern Indiana elementary school doesn't appear to have any ties to that school.

The Miami County Sheriff's Department says the 49-year-old Kokomo woman hanged herself Sunday afternoon from the flagpole in front of Converse Elementary School. The Chronicle-Tribune of Marion reports that police say investigators didn't immediately find any connection between the woman and the school or any of its employees or students.

Oak Hill United School Corp. students in kindergarten through second grade attend the school in the town of Converse about 40 miles southwest of Fort Wayne.

The district's superintendent says the school will be open Monday.
