On Friday afternoon, Texas City High School went into lockdown after a reported threat. The lockdown started at 2:33 p.m., and everyone in the school was confirmed safe as the investigation began. Texas City Emergency Management asked parents and community members not to go to the school, according to KHOU.
Officials said the specifics of the threat were not released, but they believe it may not be credible. Still, multiple law enforcement agencies were sent to search the school. The Texas City Independent School District said students will not be released until all rooms are cleared. Police remain stationed at all entrances, as reported by Click2Houston.
Texas City High School is on lockdown, and student dismissal will not take place until authorities give the all-clear. Parents and visitors are asked to stay away while law enforcement and school officials manage the situation. Texas City ISD will provide updates as more information becomes available.
