Ector County ISD police charged a middle school student with threat of a gun on a school campus, a class A misdemeanor. Tuesday afternoon, at Wilson & Young Medal of Honor Middle School, a student came forward reporting that another student claimed to have a gun. School leaders notified district police who responded with ECISD’s weapons K-9.
The student, an eighth-grade boy, was located; no weapon was found on him or in his locker.
Ector County ISD leaders want to take this opportunity to remind parents to talk with their kids about this kind of behavior, a news release said. Claims of weapons on campus will be taken seriously and charges will be filed against those making the claim, the release said.
ECISD wants to thank the student who came forward, and the ECISD officers who responded quickly and effectively. Ensuring schools and offices are safe for students and staff members will always be top priority, the release said.
