Gunman shot and killed at Texas middle school

Police in Brownsville, Texas, today shot and killed an 8th-grade student who was brandishing a gun at a middle school, the Brownsville Herald reports.

Update at 12:09 p.m. ET: A school administrator apparently noticed the student carrying the gun and called police, Brownsville police Detective J.J. Trevino said, according to the Associated Press. He said investigators hadn't determined whether the student fired any shots. He said he had no information on why the student had the gun on him.

"It's still under investigation, as far as how he came about to bringing the weapon or if he encountered anybody or anything else," Trevino said.

Update at 11:27 a.m. ET: Brownsville police Detective J.J. Trevino says officers found the student with a handgun in a hallway and shot him, the Associated Press reports.

Update at 11:17 a.m. ET: The newspaper, quoting Justice of the Peace Kip V. Johnson Hodge, reports that the suspect was an eighth-grade student at the school.

Original post: The newspaper says the suspect had "engaged police" around 8 a.m. today but it was not immediately clear if he had also opened fire.

The Cummings Middle School was locked down during the ordeal.

There were no injuries, although one other student was detained for questioning, the newspaper says.
