Hill Country College Prep was placed on lockdown today following reports of a shooting incident near the school, prompting a swift law enforcement response and concern among students, parents, and staff.
According to school officials, the lockdown was initiated as a precaution after authorities reported a nearby shooting in the Bulverde area. Administrators confirmed that law enforcement officers quickly arrived on campus to secure the school and ensure the safety of everyone inside. Officials stated that the building was secured and that there is no ongoing threat to students or staff at the school.
Principal Julie Wiley sent out an urgent alert notifying families that the school had entered lockdown status while police investigated the situation. The message emphasized that safety protocols were being followed and that students were being kept in secure areas while authorities assessed the situation.
Local law enforcement agencies are currently investigating the shooting that triggered the lockdown. While details about the incident remain limited, officials have confirmed that the response was immediate and coordinated between police and school administrators to prevent any escalation.
Parents were advised not to come directly to the school until further instructions were given, as access to the campus remained restricted during the investigation.
Bulverde, located in Comal County near San Antonio, has seen rapid growth in recent years, and school safety procedures are regularly reviewed to respond quickly to emergencies like today’s incident.
Authorities have not yet released additional details about injuries or suspects connected to the nearby shooting. More updates are expected as the investigation continues.
For now, officials say the situation at Hill Country College Prep is under control, and students are being kept safe while law enforcement continues its work in the surrounding area.
