A

former teacher who held 21 students and two adults hostage at a school in

western France for several hours has surrendered to police.

The captives, mostly students aged 16 to 18, were unharmed and

the handover passed off calmly, officials said.

The 33-year-old man, carrying a handgun, was said to be

protesting about his employment problems.

He had lost his job as a supply teacher at the Colbert de Torcy

secondary school two years ago.

'Barricaded'

The siege began early in the

afternoon on Thursday.

The students, and two adults described as playground workers,

were barricaded inside a classroom on an upper floor of the school.

Police surrounded the building quickly and French

special forces were sent in to conduct negotiations.

Jean Luc Prigent, head of security for the region, told French

Info radio it was " a happy end " to the event.

He said the special forces were able to reach " a complete

release of the group without violence " .
