A 15-year-old boy has died after shooting his teacher during Monday morning class at a Bulvurde, Texas school.

The teacher was taken to a San Antonio hospital. Her current condition is unknown.

The student, whose identity had yet to be released following the incident was deceased. WOAI reported the boy taking his own life after shooting the teacher.

The high school went into lockdown moments after an alarm sounding after the shooting, Principal Julie Wiley said in a message to parents according to The New Braunfels Herald-Zeitung.

Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to the school and discovered that the teacher had been shot.

Wiley in a follow up message confirmed students were in a secure area and the threat had been contained. Students were safely transported to Bulverde Middle School to be reunited with their parents.

‘Parents will need the following for Reunification: In order to pick up a student, parents and guardians MUST have a photo ID and be listed in Skyward as eligible to pick up the student. You will only be able to pick up your student,’ Wiley wrote.

‘We know this is incredibly difficult to hear. What we can tell you is this situation is contained, and there is no ongoing threat to students,’ the statement said.

‘We understand how scary this has been for families and our entire community.’

The public is urged to avoid the area and keep the roads clear for emergency crews. 

Officials have yet to say what led up to the shooting and whether there had been previous incidents involving the boy.
