Metzger Middle School locked down after shots fired near campus; police search for suspect - KSAT San Antonio

SAN ANTONIO – The sound of gunshots on the Northeast Side Tuesday morning forced a full lockdown at a middle school and a perimeter lockdown at two elementary schools in the area, Judson ISD officials said.

Bexar County Sheriff’s deputies and Judson ISD police were called to the 7400 block of Binz Engleman for reports of a shooting close to the middle school just before 9 a.m.

A spokesperson with BCSO said after deputies arrived on the scene, there were additional gunshots heard north of the campus.

Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar said there is an area nearby that is frequented by dove hunters and deputies found a hunter nearby who said he did fire his gun this morning. It still uncertain whether the shots were some of the ones heard by deputies.

A neighbor who reported hearing the first shots said she thought the shots were fired by a man who was wearing overalls without a shirt underneath.

Deputies made contact with a man who was walking in the greenbelt. Salazar said it’s too early to determine whether he was involved in a shooting. No weapon was found.

“The middle school is on a full lockdown as authorities continue to investigate. For additional security and precaution two of our elementary schools, Escondido ES and Woodlake ES have been placed on a perimeter lockdown,” said Judson ISD Chief Communications Officer Nicole Taguinod.

After a thorough search of the campus, the full lockdown was lifted at the middle school, but a perimeter lockdown remains, which means students are permitted to move around inside the building but may not enter or exit right now.

Police and deputies are searching a nearby neighborhood for the suspect.

It doesn’t appear that anyone was injured in the shootings.
