Update on Willie E. Williams Elementary:
A teacher at Williams Elementary, located in an interior room, was not aware that a thunderstorm was moving into the area. Around 12:45, the teacher heard a clap of thunder, which they mistook for a gunshot. The teacher called 911 directly, prompting Precinct 5 Constable’s Office and the Montgomery County Sheriff's Department to respond immediately. This response prompted several of our schools to go into lockdown. There were no gunshots, and at no time was any student or employee threatened. All MISD schools are safe and secure. We appreciate the quick response of our local law enforcement agencies and their continued commitment to keeping our students and staff safe.
