Lenora Avenue dead-ends into Boulter Middle School in Tyler. Angela Jenkins, communications director for Tyler ISD, said the information she received from TISD Police, which is in contact with Tyler Police, was that at about 1:45 p.m. a shooting occurred in the neighborhood surrounding Boulter Middle School and that initial information indicated it appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
"The school was not placed on lockdown," Ms. Jenkins said, noting, however, that precautionary measures were taken, including the notification of administration and moving the campus officer to the front of the school.
Tyler police now believe foul play could have been involved.
Ms. Jenkins said Thursday afternoon that Tyler ISD received no new information on that situation.
