On the first day back in class after a gunman killed 10 people inside Santa Fe High School in Texas, two students at nearby schools allegedly came to campus with guns, officials said, while school threats were allegedly reported at three other nearby schools.

Just 60 miles from Santa Fe High School, a student at Hargrave High School was found to have a gun in his backpack, the Huffman Independent School District said in a statement on Facebook.

The student "was intending to harm himself," the district said, and the student and backpack were taken into custody.

The school was placed on lockdown as a precaution, the district said.

He showed it to me and a few other friends in class, and we all thought it was cool. Never even occurred to any of us that this was something that shouldn't be done, or something we needed to tell a teacher about.

Handguns were unusual, but people had rifles or shotguns in the back of their trucks on a daily basis. And it wasn't like I lived in the country, it was Roswell, a well developed suburb of Atlanta.
