An afternoon on the playground for students in an Oklahoma elementary school turned into a scary encounter when a dog came in through an open gate and attacked several kids.

Five students were transported to the hospital, and their parents took several others. None of the injuries were deemed critical. According to an official, the children suffered superficial dog bites, while some had escape injuries while they tried to run away.

The dog was able to get into the school, but was tackled by a teacher once it was in the building. The teacher stated, “I’m used to being able to do what needs to be done, it just worked out real well.”

No teachers were injured in the attack, which has spurred school officials to review security in the wake of the incident.
