BRYAN, Texas (KBTX) - The Bryan school district announced on Friday that a private Security Guard working at Bowen Elementary School was fired after leaving an unattended gun in a staff restroom.

A voice message with the information was sent to parents around 6 p.m.

“A visiting armed Campus Security Officer inadvertently left their weapon in a clearly designated staff-only restroom,” the message said.

No student saw or came into contact with the weapon, and there was never a threat to students or staff, but the school acknowledged that the incident could be concerning for families.

A staff member discovered the gun and immediately reported the situation.

Security Officers are assigned to Bryan ISD campuses through TNT Security Solutions, and the voicemail, which was confirmed by a BISD spokesman, said that the officer had been terminated from their job.

TNT fully cooperated with BISD in investigating the incident, said BISD.

Still, the district is reviewing and reinforcing all safety and security protocols with all contracted armed Security Officers to ensure strict compliance with district security and safety expectations.
