PRESIDIO, Texas — The Presidio ISD Police has teamed up with the FBI and Texas Rangers to find out who made a call claiming there was an active shooter on the Presidio High School Campus. 

Around 3:00 p.m. on September 29, the Presidio County Sheriff's Office received a 9-1-1 call from an individual about someone wounding about ten people on the Presidio High School campus with an AR-15. 

Sheriff's dispatch contacted PISD Police about the call, which led to a response system for Active Shooter on Campus. Other law enforcement agencies and Presidio EMS went to the campus as well.

A PISD Police officer was on the campus already and said there was no activity that supported the claims made by the caller. 

Though the details and information about the situation did not line up with the campus layout, the Presidio High School campus activated a lockdown protocol just in case.

The high school was eventually let out by 3:40 p.m. after law enforcement agencies determined the area to be clear. Other communities like Marfa were also put into a shelter in place as a precaution. 

We will continue to update this story as PISD Police and other agencies attempt to locate and identify the person who made the original 9-1-1 call.
