Two separate incidents involving students in possession of guns occurred at Conroe ISD and Cy-Fair ISD Thursday morning. We heard from the principals.

When investigators arrived, the gun was found in the student's backpack.

Houston police would not disclose if the gun was loaded.

"It sucks being in this position where our kids need to be safe at school. We don't even feel our kids are safe at school," Rigo Rodriguez, a parent, said. "That's just the way it is. I tell them every morning to call me if there's a problem."
