A Granbury High School teacher is on forced leave while police investigate how a pistol was left unattended, locked and secured, in a teachers' restroom.
Reports say the unidentified teacher is a school marshal, part of a state-authorized program allowing school staffers to carry firearms on campus. Candidates must have a License to Carry, pass a psychological exam and undergo 80 hours of training.
In February, an Eastland County school superintendent was forced to resign when a third-grader found his handgun unattended in a school restroom.
