Dobie High School in Pasadena was placed on lockdown this week following a report of a possible firearm on campus. The Pasadena Independent School District confirmed that all students and staff are safe.
Officials responded quickly after a report indicated that a student had seen someone with what was believed to be a firearm. In response, law enforcement and school administrators initiated an investigation, implementing the lockdown “out of an abundance of caution” to ensure the safety of everyone on-site.
The district provided reassurance in a statement, declaring, “All students and staff are safe.” Furthermore, they noted that students were being supervised by staff members, in line with established safety protocols.
Views captured from Air 11 showcased adults gathered outside the school, located at 10220 Blackhawk Blvd. The district made it clear that the safety of students and staff remains their highest priority, and they are closely collaborating with law enforcement throughout the investigation.
Parents were advised to refrain from coming to the school as it might hinder emergency operations. The district plans to release additional updates as more information is made available.

The measures taken reflect a determined effort to prioritize safety amidst ongoing evaluations of the situation.
