A high school student at Conroe Independent School District was arrested Thursday after a tip led to the discovery of a gun on campus, according to the district.
The Texas Military Service said the incident was non-mission related but they did say the initial findings indicate it was an accidental firearm discharge.
Spc. Dajuan Lester Townes was assigned to Operation Lone Star. He was injured in Brackettville, near the Mexico border, and taken to a hospital in San Antonio.
