The following was recieved from Brazosport Independant School District:
The LOCKDOWN at Brazosport and SECURE at nearby campuses have been lifted. A Brazosport student reported seeing another student in the restroom with what appeared to be a weapon. The campus immediately followed safety protocols and went into LOCKDOWN, nearby campuses also initiated a SECURE protocol. The student in question is in police custody due to possessing a weapon on campus.
