According to the district, there was no harm to other students, and the school day continued as normal.

"As a reminder, possession of a firearm on campus is a Level V offense resulting in a mandatory expulsion to a juvenile justice alternative education program," the letter read.

The district stressed that in accordance with the Student Code of Conduct, disciplinary action will be taken if students violate the policy.

It was not immediately made known if the gun was loaded. School officials did confirm that the student was also in possession of ammunition.

As it is the second month of the school year, several reports of guns have already been found on Houston area campuses.

On Aug. 16, two students were found to be in possession of a gun in Humble ISD, and in Fort Bend ISD, there were reports of two guns on separate campuses.
