Accidental shooting triggers Flour Bluff ISD lockdown

A 17-year-old man who was accidentally shot in the hand triggered a brief district-wide lockdown for the Flour Bluff Independent School District.

Corpus Christi police were called to the 2700 block of Waldron Road at 10:20 a.m., a police news release states.

Initially, the shooting was reported to police as a robbery near Caribbean and Laguna Shores Drive, the release states.

"Investigators now believe that the shooting might have been accidental in nature and might have occurred at the apartment complex," the release states. "This investigation is ongoing."

Flour Bluff ISD schools were put on lockdown due to a gunman in the area, a Facebook post states.

"Flour Bluff ISD is currently in lockdown," the post reads. "The District was notified by the Corpus Christi Police Department of a shooting in the area of the school district. CCPD advised all Flour Bluff ISD campuses to go into lockdown.

"All campuses will remain in lockdown until CCPD notifies the District the area is safe and the lockdown can be lifted. The District will do another call out once the lockdown has been lifted."

The lockdown was lifted around 11:30 a.m.
