UPDATE 9:38 a.m.: A call was made to the Texas City Police Department today that someone was in a bathroom at Texas City High School with a gun.
TCPD immediately responded and the campus was placed on a Lockdown.
TCPD traced the call to a number that has been making hoax threats like this all around the country. Texas City ISD and TCPD will always take threats seriously. As a precaution, every room at TCHS was cleared before releasing the Lockdown.
We know that many students were truly frightened. Counseling team is available to students should they have a need.
UPDATE 9:11 a.m.: Everyone is safe at TCHS and the Industrial Trades Center. Texas City Police Department is still on scene and we continue to take precautions while on Lockdown. We will continue to keep you informed.
Texas City High School is currently in a “Lockdown” because there is a report of a potential threat. All doors are locked, no one is allowed inside, students and staff remain quiet until the all-clear is given. More information to come later. There is no action required on your part at this moment. Please do not try to come on scene.”
