A 15-year-old student is dead after he shot a teacher and himself at his high school near San Antonio Monday morning, authorities said.
The female teacher — from Hill Country College Preparatory High School in the town of Bulverde — was rushed to the hospital after being shot by the unidentified male student, the Comal County Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post without revealing details about the teacher’s condition.

The student died on the scene from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, county sheriff Mark Reynolds later confirmed at an afternoon news conference.
The school was evacuated and all other staff and students are safe, the sheriff’s office added.
Hill Country College Preparatory — a public school-of-choice with fewer than 200 students — has spent the day updating parents and guardians with updates and reunification protocols on Facebook.
Students were ushered to a nearby middle school complex, and parents and guardians were required to show valid photo IDs to pick up their kids, the school said.
The school is nestled in a rural suburb with only around 6,000 residents, but it draws applicants from throughout Comal County for a STEM program that allows students to graduate with an associate’s degree.
