Overview
- Authorities identified the suspect as 39-year-old Kyle Njam Chris, who was arrested Wednesday evening and booked into the Harris County Jail.
- Officials say he entered Zwink Elementary through a front door left improperly closed, wore tactical-style gear, and carried a holstered gun and taser.
- Court records state he asked if an armed officer was on campus before office staff called the campus guard, after which he left; no one was injured and he did not access other areas.
- Investigators traced a vehicle using Flock camera footage to a home about half a mile from the school, and Chris was charged with having a weapon in an unauthorized place with bond set at $75,000.
- Prosecutors accepted felony charges, the district bolstered on-campus security, and officials notified families after the arrest, a delay that some parents questioned.
