LUFKIN, Texas (KTRE) - Lufkin ISD says it is investigating after an unloaded gun was brought to the Lufkin Middle School campus earlier in September.
The district says it received a report Monday and has confirmed that more than one student witnessed a gun on the middle school campus on Sept. 12.
The district, in a statement, said it was working on recommending further measures to enhance campus security and reminded students, parents and guardians that failing to report incidents was “unacceptable.”
“This serves as a reminder that unauthorized possession of a firearm on campus is a serious crime, and Lufkin ISD will pursue all legal measures,” the district said in a statement. “Student safety is our top priority, and we urge parents and guardians to talk with their children about the importance of immediately reporting any safety concerns.”
