Seminary Drive, where a person was reportedly seen with a weapon.When officers arrived, they were told that a group of five individuals was seen in a "photo taken inside the high school displaying a firearm."Fort Worth ISD Superintendent Peter Licata arrived at the high school late afternoon to watch security precautions as they happened in real-time.

He said no gun was found on campus or "any adjacent property". Five people, including the student who took the photo and an adult, later identified as 18-year-old Lucio Garcia, have been detained, the Fort Worth Independent School District said. "I'm saddened that it happened on the first day," he said during a news conference Monday evening. "I want to reiterate: students, parents, everyone's safety is everyone's role. Please do not even kid around with safety or posting social media stuff, whether it's real or not. We are not in a position to question it. We go right to full throttle safety and lock down.
