PSJA ISD student arrested after bringing airsoft gun to school, district says
A PSJA Early College High School student was arrested Thursday after bringing an airsoft gun to school, according to a news release from PSJA ISD.
The arrest was made after administrators received a report from a student regarding a potential threat on campus, and district police launched an investigation.
“There was no immediate threat to students or staff,” the district said in a statement to Channel 5 News. “PSJA ISD takes all threats seriously, and as a result, the student has been arrested and charged.”
This is the second arrest of a PSJA ISD student in connection with a school threat this week. On Wednesday, the district announced the arrest of a 12-year-old student in connection with threats made on social media against the district.
