A 15-year-old student at Hill Country College Preparatory High School in Bulverde, Texas, shot a teacher during morning classes on Monday before turning the gun on himself. The Comal County Sheriff's Office reported that the student died at the scene from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, while the teacher was hospitalized in stable condition.

The incident occurred at the high school in Comal County, about 30 miles north of San Antonio, prompting a lockdown and reunification of students with families. No other injuries were reported. Authorities identified the weapon as a .357 revolver taken from the student's grandfather's home and brought to campus.

Classes at the school were canceled in the immediate aftermath, and questions have arisen about campus security, including the absence of a school resource officer at the time of the shooting. Comal Independent School District has increased its safety budget by 91 percent in recent years, but no officer was present during the incident.

The shooting has renewed discussions on school safety measures in Texas, coming years after high-profile incidents like the 2022 Uvalde tragedy. Local officials emphasized there was no ongoing threat after the event, and the investigation remains active as of Friday.

Investigators continue to build a timeline and determine a motive, with the sheriff noting the student was failing several classes. Agencies have declined to release the student's identity. The teacher, whose name has not been publicly disclosed, was conscious and alive as of recent updates, receiving treatment in San Antonio.
