PFLUGERVILLE, TX - A Pflugerville teenager is spending Tuesday night in the Travis County jail. Police said she brought a loaded gun to school Tuesday. It is the second scare on that campus in a couple of weeks.
Police arrested 17-year-old Shonteisha Hobbs shortly before classes began at Pflugerville High School. Investigators said she had a 9 mm handgun. They would not say how many rounds were in the gun, but they did confirm, "The firearm was loaded," said William Edwards, the Pflugerville ISD Chief of Police.
Two students tipped off police. They reported seeing Hobbs with the handgun at school.
"It was obviously displayed for the students where they were able to describe it as a handgun," said Edwards.
After Hobbs' arrest classes went on as scheduled. That included taking the STAAR test. Parents we spoke to were thankful for the quick reaction by students and campus police.
"We all remember Columbine and Virginia," said David Hufstedler, who has one student attending Pflugerville High School. "I think these are just instances we have to deal with nowadays. I think the best way to handle that is be prepared and have a plan of action.

Consider the source. 'Nuff said.
Does she look like obama's daughter? I am so glad he used that phrase so we don't have to blame the Amish anymore.
I knew a girl whose name was Jayqucea. It was pronounced jock-see. Obviously. Etta Wolf. Uvetta Bird. Hungry mothers named them. Real people. Speaking of people, there was also Narthetrics Peoples, a girl.
LOL! That's just down the road from here.
It's pronounced FLU-grr-ville.
But please don't ask me to pronounce 'Shonteisha'.
:-)
I have had pets smarter than that!
Id heard something about this the other day. Didn’t know it was a female. It’s getting rough out there.
Need more coffee.
If Obama had a daughter it would look like her - Sinclair
Does she look like Obamas transexual wife?
***But please don’t ask me to pronounce ‘Shonteisha’.***
The news anchors pronounced it “show-NEE-sha” yesterday.
I would have guessed Shonteisha pronounced Shown-tees-i-a.
But I pronounced a friends daughter's name Tam-a-ra when they pronounced it Ta-mar-a.
Where's ta-mar-a...after today? LOL

Maybe I'm just getting old [please do not insert comment here], but the screwy names just get to me. What happened to David and Robert and Mary and James and Susan, fer cryin' out loud?
So, how would the news anchors pronounce the name Sheathead?
"Buh-rock O-bah-mah".
I understand that holder's people make up those names by using half of the mother's name and half of the father's name (if they know who it is) and combine them for a new name.
