BCSO: JUVENILES FIRE PROJECTILES AT STUDENTS IN CALDWELL HIGH SCHOOL PARKING LOT

  

The Burleson County Sheriff’s Office is investigating after it says several juveniles fired some type of projectile at students in the Caldwell High School parking lot.

Monday afternoon, just after 1 p.m., deputies were dispatched to the school for a “shots fired” call.  The person reporting the incident told 911 that her friend had been struck with a projectile that caused welts, but did not require medical attention.

Deputies were given a vehicle description and direction of travel.  Upon finding the vehicle in question, they found three people inside, all juveniles, and learned a fourth suspect may have been dropped off in the area.  They soon obtained information that led them to the fourth individual, also a juvenile.

Deputies interviewed the four juveniles and determined they were the ones involved in the incident.  According to the Sheriff’s Office, investigators found a toy gun identified as a “Splat R Ball,” which they said is capable of shooting a “hydro ball” at high speeds and in rapid succession.  Deputies said part of the toy gun was painted black in an effort to make it appear more realistic.

The Sheriff’s Office will turn its findings over to the Burleson County District Attorney’s Office this week to determine which charges will be accepted and filed.  Authorities say there is no danger to the public.
