Three minors were taken into custody after a lockdown at Euless Trinity High School on Friday,
officials with the Euless Police Department said.
At 3:58 p.m. Friday, police received reports that someone might have had a weapon on campus,
according to a statement. The school resource officer coordinated a police response and
administrators initiated a lockdown.
The three minors were detained “within minutes” of the initial report, and officers from
neighboring schools and the Euless Police Department’s criminal investigations division
assisted in securing the school, police said. Officers found the threat was not credible, and no
weapons were found.
The detained minors were not students at Euless Trinity and will not be publicly identified
because of their age, police said. According to a message that school officials sent to parents,
the juveniles may have been trespassing on the campus. Potential charges remain pending.

ARLINGTON, Texas - Aug. 31, 2026 - PRLog -- The Texas Trust Credit Union Gives Foundation
has awarded $70,000 in Community Impact grants to 10 school districts across North and
Central Texas, helping students begin the new school year with backpacks, school supplies,
shoes, clothing, food, and other essential resources.
The Texas Trust Gives Foundation supports initiatives that help schools and community
organizations remove barriers that can interfere with students' ability to attend school,
participate fully, and succeed.
"Helping students start the school year with the necessary resources they need is one of the
most tangible ways we can make a difference," said Washima Huq, executive director of the
Texas Trust Gives Foundation. "But our impact doesn't stop with financial support. Our
employees believe in giving their time and being present in the communities we serve, and
we're proud that 45 employees recently volunteered at these back-to-school events to help
make a difference for students and their families."
The foundation's 2026 grants supported programs at Arlington, Athens, Cedar Hill, DeSoto, Fort
Worth, Grand Prairie, Hurst-Euless-Bedford, Lewisville, Mansfield, and San Angelo independent
school districts.
At Arlington, Cedar Hill, Lewisville, and San Angelo ISDs, grant funds supported back-to-school
events that provided underserved students with backpacks and school supplies. Mansfield ISD
used its grant to provide shoes to students in need, while Cedar Hill ISD also used funding to
support its Longhorn Care Closet, which provides uniforms and other essentials to students.
Other grants address ongoing needs that extend beyond the start of the school year. In Athens,
funding supports a program that provides nonperishable food to students who may not have
enough food at home over the weekends. Grand Prairie ISD's Weekend Stability Packs provide
students with food, hygiene products, clothing and other necessities, while Fort Worth ISD's
THRIVE Market provides food and toiletries to refugee and asylum-seeking families.
DeSoto ISD is using its grant to support a Student Sustainability and Essentials Initiative, which
provides students experiencing hardship with items such as uniforms, shoes, jackets,
backpacks, and hygiene products. Hurst-Euless-Bedford ISD is providing uniforms and related
items to additional cadets participating in its Navy National Defense Cadet Corps/NJROTC
program.
