Following an active shooter call earlier this morning, Comal Independent School District officials have confirmed that the situation has been brought under control, with students and staff now safe and in the process of being reunited with their families. The update, issued at approximately 9:45 a.m., reassured the community that local law enforcement had successfully secured the school building after responding swiftly to the reported threat.
Authorities acted with urgency upon receiving the call, implementing safety protocols designed to protect everyone on campus. Students and staff were kept under lockdown conditions until officers completed a thorough sweep of the premises to ensure there was no ongoing danger. Once the building was deemed secure, district officials began coordinating the next steps to safely release students to their families.
As part of the reunification process, students and staff were transported by bus to Bulverde Middle School, where parents and guardians were instructed to pick them up. School officials emphasized that safety remains the top priority, and strict identification procedures are in place to ensure that every student is released only to an authorized individual. Parents are required to present a valid photo ID and must be listed in the Skyward system as eligible to pick up their child.
Principal Wiley and district leaders have expressed gratitude to law enforcement and emergency responders for their quick and coordinated efforts in handling the situation. Their response helped prevent panic and ensured that students were kept safe throughout the incident.
While the nature of the initial call remains under investigation, the incident has understandably caused concern among families and the broader community. Counseling and support services are expected to be made available for students and staff as they process the events of the morning.
The district continues to encourage patience and cooperation as reunification efforts proceed, prioritizing the well-being and safety of all involved.
