Exactly one year prior on April 15, 2024, students protested at the high school over safety concerns. On April 12, a student had been able to sneak in a gun and was able to shoot another student in the leg, NBC DFW reported at the time.
The district's superintendent, Dr. Stephanie Elizalde, said at the time that the school has metal detectors, but the student was able to get the gun past them and into the school. Dozens of students marched out in defense of their teachers, who they felt had been unfairly blamed for the incident.
