All Cops Are Bastards

**Despite state law, no police were present at San Antonio-area school during this week’s shooting **

No police officer or school resource officer was present at the Hill Country College Preparatory High School campus in Bulverde at the time of shooting that occurred there Monday, the Express-News reports.

Under Texas law, all public school districts are required to have one armed security guard — a licensed peace officer, school resource officer or commissioned security personnel — on each campus during normal school hours.

Comal County Sheriff Mark Reynolds told the daily he doesn’t know why the school resource officer provided by the Bulverede Police Department wasn’t present on the public school campus at the time of the shooting, which took the life of one student and wounded a teacher.

The reported absence of an armed officer is just the latest twist in the campus shooting.

At around 8:30 a.m. Monday, a 15-year-old student shot a teacher before turning the gun on himself in one of the school’s second-floor classrooms, according to the Express-News. The student died at the scene, while the teacher remains at a San Antonio hospital.

However, the motive for the shooting remains under investigation.

The student was failing several classes, News 4 SA reporter Jaie Avila tweeted Tuesday afternoon. However, Comal Sheriff Reynolds told the Express-News that the student and teacher didn’t have a personal relationship.

Hill Country College Preparatory High School canceled classes on Tuesday in response to the shooting.
