It was actually a machete at school (Posted Thu 02:55 pm)
Granbury High maintenance workers notified the school's resource officer Wednesday when they saw what they thought were four youths in the parking lot displaying a firearm. The firearm turned out to be an orange-tipped aerosal can. However, the officer observed what he confirmed to be a machete in a vehicle. No citations were issued. Discipline will be handled by the school district, as possessing a weapon on school property is a violation of school code.
