An on-campus incident has resulted in criminal charges against a Pearland middle school student.
Pearland Police responded to Sablatura Middle School, 2201 N. Galveston Avenue, at 8:37 a.m. Feb. 28 regarding a student in possession of a firearm.
The youngster with the weapon was quickly reported, and the firearm was recovered, Pearland ISD officials said.
District policies require students caught on campus with firearms to be expelled.
The student, who is not identified due to his or her age, has also been charged with possession of a firearm in a prohibited place and terroristic threat. The campus serves fifth and sixth-graders, students who are typically age 10 to 12.
“As always, we encourage your student to talk to a teacher, school administrator or other trusted adult any time he or she hears or sees anything out of the ordinary,” Sablatura Middle School Principal Verna Tipton said in an email sent to parents the day of the incident.
Anyone with information on the Sablatura incident is asked to call Pearland Police on the non-emergency number, 281-997-4100.
