DEL VALLE, Texas — Authorities put Del Valle High School on hold on Monday after a teacher reported that a student possibly had a weapon.

The student reportedly left campus. School police later found the student and the weapon. Officials have not said what type of weapon was involved.

Additional threats were made on social media over the weekend, Jarrell ISD said. The school district received tips through an anonymous alert system.
