- I just want to re-emphasize that this is not a random act of violence. This is not somebody attacking our schools. This is a student. We believe, right now, preliminary, that it was a student that got into a fight and drew a weapon.
- Chief, you know how he was able to get the weapon inside the school?
- I do not. We had two Mansfield Independent School District police officers that housed in this school. They were here, and they were on scene immediately to render our safety to our students.
- Are there metal detectors in the school?
- I don't have that information.
