Texas High School Teacher Shot by Student, Who Later Dies at Scene

Law enforcement confirmed on Monday morning that a 15-year-old student at a Texas high school shot a teacher before taking their own life at the scene. The Comal County Sheriff’s Office emphasized in a Facebook statement that the incident is now under control and poses no continued danger to students.

Details of the Shooting

The attack occurred at Hill Country College Preparatory High School in Bulverde, a city approximately 30 miles north of San Antonio. The district activated the school’s lockdown alarm just after 8:30 a.m., and by 9:38 a.m., officials reported the campus was secure, with students moved to Bulverde Middle School for parent pickup.

“We know this is incredibly difficult to hear. What we can tell you is this situation is contained, and there is no ongoing threat to students,” the sheriff’s office said.

Further information about the victim’s condition and the circumstances of the shooting remains pending. The teacher was hospitalized with injuries yet to be disclosed. This is a developing story, and updates will be provided as they become available.
