Bowie Middle School was planning a lockdown drill this morning, but before the drill occurred school leaders received reports about a student telling others he brought a gun with him to school. Some told school leaders it was an airsoft gun, others said it was not an airsoft gun. School leaders called for the lockdown, earlier than planned, in order to sort through the conflicting reports from students. It was an airsoft gun, and the student faces school discipline as well as a Class A Misdemeanor criminal charge of Use or Threat of Gun on Campus.
ECISD leaders want to thank those students who made the reports at the school, and ECISD police and school staff for quickly responding to keep everyone safe.
