Cameron County Justice of the Peace Kip V. Johnson Hodge told The Brownsville Herald the student died.Trevino said the school was immediately placed on lockdown, and that no one else was injured.
A school administrator apparently noticed the student carrying the gun and called Brownsville and school district police, Trevino said. He said investigators hadn't determined whether the student fired any shots, and he said he had no information on why the student might have had the gun on him.A school district spokeswoman didn't immediately respond to phone messages from The Associated Press, and calls to the school rang unanswered.
