Tomball ISD officials were thankful after someone's report of a possible weapon on campus led to the discovery of an unloaded gun inside a student's backpack, the district said in a statement.
The report came during the lunch period on Friday afternoon at Tomball High School, TISD said. Officials said two campus administrators and two school resource officers apprehended the student and found the unloaded handgun inside a student's backpack, adding that there was no ammunition inside the gun.
TISD said the school employees' prompt response prevented the need to put the school in a lockdown, and that because the incident was contained within seconds, there was no active threat to students or staff.
