ARLINGTON, Texas (CBSDFW.COM) - Arlington police responded to Sam Houston High School in regards to a fight at around 9 a.m. Friday. A school resource officer had reported seeing someone reach into their waistband, as if to draw a weapon, during the fight.
The school located at 2000 Sam Houston Drive was placed on lockdown, according to the Arlington Independent School District, as police investigated the incident.
Students were held inside the building for about an hour and no one was allowed to come or go on the campus.
