BULVERDE, Texas (WOAI) — A 15-year-old student is dead after shooting a teacher during morning classes at Hill Country College Preparatory High School in Texas, according to Comal County Sheriff’s Office.
The shooting immediately placed the school on lockdown, prompting a large law enforcement response and student reunification efforts.
Officials said the teacher was taken to San Antonio hospital, but there is no word on her condition.
The student was pronounced dead at the scene.
Comal County Sheriff’s officials said it is not an active shooter situation and there is no threat to any students at this time.
Deputies were dispatched to the Mustang Vista area near the school following reports of gunfire.
School officials initially said the campus was secure and the threat contained, but later announced students would be transported to Bulverde Middle School, located at 29975 Wiley Road, for reunification with parents.
“We understand how scary this has been for families and our entire community. Thank you for your patience and for helping us share accurate information,” the sheriff’s office said. “We will continue to keep you updated as we learn more.”
Officials urged the public to avoid the area unless picking up a student to allow emergency crews to work.
