Alarming: Armed Muslim Man Wearing Tactical Gear Arrested After Entering School with Weapons

What all these parents can agree on is just how troubling it is that a man with a gun was able to get into their child’s school in the first place. Told it all of alarming. Parents at Zwing Elementary School telling ABC 13 the events of Tuesday afternoon are distressing. Obviously, I was concerned, you know, I mean, that’s any parent would be. Court records say 39-year-old Kyle Chris walked through the front doors of Zwing with a gun after someone else leaving the school did not properly close the doors behind them. Client ISD telling Eyewitness News the front doors are in working order but did not respond when we asked if the person leaving held the doors open for Chris.

The district telling us an armed officer was on campus that day doing rounds of the property at the time. Records allege Chris was in military or tactical gear and had a gun and Taser holstered when he asked the secretary if there was an armed officer on campus. Those documents go on to say he was asked for ID but he said he did not have any and left the campus. Through flawed cameras, law enforcement was able to trace Chris to his home about half a mile away and arrest him. Kyle Chris. Jail records show he was booked into the Harris County Jail on Wednesday and charged with having a weapon in an unauthorized place.

Some parents say the school should not have waited over 24 hours to inform families an armed man was inside their child’s school. I think it definitely would have helped if it was a little bit sooner but I felt like there wasn’t a ton of information as to far as what happened. In a letter to parents, the district says they waited to inform families to make sure Chris didn’t learn about a possible arrest and flee. I have no problem with the time. It was okay. Outside of this charge, Chris has no other criminal record in Harris County.

One of Chris’s neighbors says he had just hung out with him and didn’t notice anything wrong. Just two days ago, we went fishing with my son. Me and him and the other neighbor and his girlfriend’s little baby boy. That neighbor is saying Chris is a veteran and he feels this is a misunderstanding. And what should be also noted about this Kyle Chris is they’re saying here that he goes by Mui Muhammad Najim. And that he is the individual with a Muslim background that went into this school armed with tactical gear. With everything else popping off and going on, it’s worth noting all these things.

Luckily, nothing bad happened in this incident, but I expect to see more of it. So that’s some updated info that the news just so happened to selectively keep out right there. Join me for the live streams Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 8 p.m. Eastern where I’m talking about this and a whole lot more. Hope to see you there. Much love. [tr:trw].
