A student was kidnaped at gunpoint on her way to Garfield High School Wednesday morning and then released, a San Diego Police Department spokesman said.

The 17-year-old senior was walking along the 2500 block of Imperial Avenue at 8:17 a.m. after taking the bus from her home in Skyline to meet a girlfriend and go to Garfield in Normal Heights, officials said.

A man driving a 1977 dark green Chevrolet Impala pulled alongside her, pointed a gun and ordered her into the car, the spokesman said.
