Students at Sweeny High School were relocated Friday morning due to a law enforcement response. The Sweeny Independent School District confirmed that students are being moved to a safe location while authorities work through the building. As a precaution, Sweeny Elementary School and Junior High have been placed on secure status, according to KHOU.
The nature of the threat at the high school is unclear, but local agencies are responding due to its location about 70 miles southwest of Houston. Students will not be released until all are accounted for and a reunification plan or all-clear signal is issued. The school is located on E Ashley-Wilson Road, as mentioned by KHOU.

The district has not released further details, but it stated, "We will provide updates as they come available." It also reassured parents, saying, "We appreciate your patience, and please know that the safety of your children is our priority."
