after shooting a teacherThe teacher was taken to a hospital in San Antonio. In a news conference Monday afternoon, Comal County Sheriff Mark Reynolds said the teacher’s condition is unknown.In a Facebook post Monday, the sheriff’s office said it was “responding to reports of a shooting this morning near a high school in the Bulverde area.” At 9:20 a.m., the school said in a separate Facebook post that “students and staff are in a secure area and the threat has been contained.”Reynolds said the shooting happened on campus but did not specify where. Multiple agencies responded to the school and the “situation was contained very, very quickly,” he said.“No one will be allowed back to the HCCPHS campus for belongings or parked cars until law enforcement officials release the campus,” the high school said.Reynolds said authorities believe the student shot himself after shooting the teacher.The sheriff said his office is investigating the connection between the student and the teacher.The deceased student’s family was in the reunification line on Monday, according to Reynolds. He said authorities will speak to them as they investigate where the firearm came from. He said the sheriff’s office will continue to have a presence as needed, and their focus is on supporting those affected. “What happened today is something no community ever wants to face, but we prepare for something that we hope never occurs,” he said.In a letter to parents, Principal Julie Wiley said there will be no school Tuesday, March 31, “to allow time for our families and staff to process and begin healing.” Wiley said counselors will be available to students and families from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday at Mammen Family Public Library, located at 131 Bulverde Crossing. Any vehicles or personal belongings left on campus will remain secured until further notice, Wiley said, and guidance will be sent out about how to retrieve items.The Ecumenical Center is offering resources and access to trained professionals for those struggling in the wake of the shooting, emphasizing that support is available not only for those directly affected, but for anyone experiencing distress.Sarah Valdez, a mother of a freshman at the school, said it’s sad that this is a reality for students. “We got an alert from Comal ISD that the school is on lockdown, and I called my son, even though I knew they’re not supposed to be using phones,” Valdez said. Jesse Lopez said that he’ll hold onto his daughter once they reunite, but it’ll be difficult telling her that she has to eventually go back to class. “That’s going to be hard to do because, for one, she has autism, and she’ll be afraid to go back, she’ll be real afraid to go back,” Lopez said. A female sophomore student told KSAT she was walking down the stairs with a friend when they heard the gunfire. She said her debate teacher saw them on the staircase and shouted, “Get into a room, get into a room.”In Comal ISD, data collected by KSAT Investigates shows that reports of student-caused injuries were nearly 20 times higher in the 2024-25 school year than in the two school years prior. According to the injury reports, Comal ISD educators reported being bitten, headbutted and choked by students during the 2024-25 school year.Hill Country College Preparatory High School is in Comal ISD, about half an hour north of San Antonio. It is a specialized high school as a “school of choice” within Comal ISD and was founded in August 2020.The school began as freshmen only but has grown to offer grades 9-12. It focuses on college, career and military readiness, and STEAM and is a New Technology High School . The school initially operated on the campus of Spring Branch Middle School but has since moved to its own dedicated campus. It collaborates with area colleges, including the University of Texas and Northeast Lakeview College, and offers more than a dozen Advanced Placement courses.
