On the first day back in class after a gunman killed 10 people inside Santa Fe High School in Texas, two students at nearby schools allegedly came to campus with guns, officials said, while school threats were allegedly reported at three other nearby schools.
student at Hargrave High School was found to have a gun in his backpack, the Huffman Independent School District said in a statement on Facebook.
The student "was intending to harm himself," the district said, and the student and backpack were taken into custody.
The school was placed on lockdown as a precaution, the district said.
Meanwhile, just 14 miles from Santa Fe High School, a male student at the League City Intermediate School was found with an unloaded gun, authorities told ABC station KTRK in Houston.
School administrators took the gun and the student was taken into the custody of the Galveston County Sheriff's Office, KTRK reported.
At a third nearby school, a student was arrested for allegedly making a threat today, though no gun was found.
A student at La Marque High School, just 9 miles from Santa Fe High School, allegedly texted someone to bring him a gun.
"We appreciate the quick action of students for reporting what they knew of and saw so that we can keep the campus safe," the district said.
At a fourth school, YES Prep West in Houston, a person allegedly phoned in a threat to shoot up the school, Houston police said, according to KTRK.
And at a fifth school, Crosby High School in Crosby, a threat was written on a bathroom wall alleging a shooting would take place May 30, the Crosby Independent School District said.
"Administrators and our school resource officers are investigating the threat to determine its source," the district said.

Is it just me, or does anyone else feel that there is something much deeper going with guns and schools these days? The frequency of these things is starting to look... engineered...
Gun laws prevented them from posessing any gu.......... Oh.
Pretty soon we’re going to have to pass a law making it illegal to have a gun on a school campus.
That will put a stop to all this nonsense.
When the mass media makes a **rock star(( out of a psychotic killer - what the heck do you expect to happen.
Thee is a reason the term **Copy Cat** exists.
(rolls eyes)
The Fraud’s cabal of felons is getting really worried, and tossing as much mayhem into America as possible.
Government schools need to be closed until all of these kids can be vetted.
Needed— armed guards and teachers, metal detectors, a ban on concealment clothing and backpacks, and prosecution of clueless parents.
But now. this has become a social contagion which has probably expanded beyond the control of the sponsors.
It will end when the "immune system" kicks in. That means widespread employment of armed guards in schools along with some visible account of school shooters put down by those guards.
There have already been several such incidents, but they are getting almost zero coverage from the news media as they go against the narrative of the political elites.
What’s going on in that city and area?! This is ridiculous.
Lots of feral youth in our public schools.
So much so, that the urban schools have become danger zones.
They need to make Friday required watching for kids entering high school...
Just for that one scene where Craig was about to go shoot Debo, but his daddy did daddy things and made him grow up.
The democrats are working overtime trying to ban guns. Not going to happen.
We should be safe enough until 2020. At some point, though (far in the future, one hopes), the Democrats will control both Congress and the WH. Then all bets are off.
Also need to hold the media and entertainment industry accountable.
PEOPLE: Don’t let the government use these vile murders as an excuse to snuff out our RIGHTS. Not a privilege, but a RIGHT that is NOT GRANTED by the 2nd Amendment, just RECOGNIZED and CONFIRMED by the 2nd Amendment, because our natural right PREEXISTED government, having been granted by God Himself. Now, what is the first response of gun controllers to tragedy? They want to take the guns away from everybody who DID NOT do the crime! They want to punish only the INNOCENT, since the criminals will NEVER turn in their guns, and in fact felons are SPECIFICALLY EXEMPTED by the US Extreme Court from compliance with all gun registration laws across the United States! Yes, you read that correctly! EXEMPTED. - they are a “protected” group. Now, what DOES cause these sad outbursts of violence? It is NOT a profound philosophical question! It is: 1) Negative influence of the internet and social media. 2) Bad parenting, especially weak or absent Fathers. 3) No God, no religion, just secular materialism that is compounded by moral relativism. Q.E.D.
but I do have to say that teenagers should not have easy access to guns, except going out to hunt in the woods...
where are the parents...
Never bring a piece of paper to a gunfight.
I think, in these recent cases, what happened is the students have figured out how to get at least 1 day OFF school.
