What they're saying:

Community ISD issued this statement regarding the incident:

"Brave Nation, 

We want to provide another update on the situation at Community High School. As a reminder, earlier today a student was apprehended by Community ISD Police in the hallway at Community High School with a weapon on their person. The weapon was not loaded, no shots were fired, and no one was injured. 

The suspect is in custody, and has already been interviewed by police. All evidence points to the student having acted alone. 

CHS administrators and CISD Police are done clearing rooms, and as rooms have been cleared, students that are drivers and students that can be picked up by parents/guardians have been released. 

Students that ride the bus have been loaded, and all high school routes will be run now. 

If students happen to leave personal belongings while they’re being released, the high school will arrange for a separate time for them to pick up their belongings. 

Senior parents looking to pick up graduation tickets - we will send out separate instructions only to CHS senior parents as soon as possible. For now, please stay away from campus unless you are specifically here to pick up your student(s). 

All other campuses will continue to operate as normal, though bus routes at elementaries will now be delayed. 

Stay tuned to CISD social media, emails, and SMS messages for further updates as necessary."
