Huffman ISD hears from parents about close call, recognizes top students
On Monday, May 21, a school shooting was apparently stopped when a student with a firearm was apprehended outside of Hargrave High School.
A likely tragedy was thwarted before it could happen as a result of a tip by a concerned student. The school was placed on lockdown as a precaution and the building and grounds were searched. The community and school officials are all thankful to the student for alerting authorities and for all the students’ conduct during the crisis. Even though the administration, teachers and law enforcement agencies responded quickly, it was clearly a close call and disrupted the day. It also radically changed the atmosphere at the regular monthly school board meeting scheduled that same night.
