Bryan ISD campus security guard fired after leaving weapon in school bathroom
BRYAN, Texas (KBTX) – A contracted security officer at Johnson Elementary School in Bryan was fired on Tuesday after leaving their gun and holster in a nurse’s bathroom, according to the school district.
In a recorded phone message shared with parents this afternoon, the school district said the incident happened earlier in the school day.
“We wanted to inform you that earlier today an armed campus security officer left their duty belt in the nurse’s office bathroom. While no student handled the duty belt and the weapon remained holstered, we understand that this news may be unsettling,” the recording said.
Bryan ISD spokesman Clay Falls said the duty belt was discovered by a staff member and the bathroom is located in the nurse’s office and has limited access for students and staff.
Each private security officer on Bryan ISD campuses is assigned through TNT Security Solutions and the school district says the company terminated the employee following the incident and a new security officer is already in place.
“A representative from TNT Security Solutions met with the Superintendent and Assistant Director of Safety and Security for Bryan ISD and reviewed safety protocols. TNT was responsive and cooperative and the district appreciates the sense of urgency as safety remains a top priority for all,” said Falls.
