Round Rock High School Student Brings Shotgun To Campus

ROUND ROCK, TX — A Round Rock High School student brought an unloaded shotgun to campus on Tuesday, according to reports.

In a message to parents, Principal Matt Groff said the encased shotgun was found in the back seat of the student's vehicle, KXAN reported. Police were called before it was determined there was no imminent threat. Goff said the student would be disciplined accordingly.

“It is a collective effort to keep our campus environment the safest one possible and we commend the individual who made the initial report,” Groff wrote in his message. “Students, please report anything suspicious to an adult on campus. It is imperative that students inform us immediately if they believe a stranger or fellow student has brought a weapon to our campus.”

This is the second time in as many months that an area student has brought a gun onto school grounds. Last month, loaded gun was found in the student’s backpack. Last month in northwest Austin, a Grisham Middle School seventh grader was arrested after a loaded gun was found in the student’s backpack.
