KILLEEN, Texas (KWTX) – An unloaded weapon was found in a student’s backpack at Pat Carney Elementary School Wednesday, according to a letter sent to parents.
“At no time were students or staff in danger, and there was no intent to cause harm,” Pat Carney Elementary School Principal Paige Gawryszewski said in the letter.
Gawryszewski said the school day continued as normal and school administrators in conjunction with KISD police addressed the situation with the student’s parents.
“We ask for your partnership in reinforcing with your student that weapons of any kind—including toy replicas or look-alikes—are not permitted on school grounds,” Gawryszewski said.
