Shooting
On September 11, 1990, three high school students were shot and wounded in what was believed to be a gang-related confrontation on the school grounds. Three other students were arrested shortly afterwards. Witnesses told police a group of students had gathered on the patio when shots were fired into the group. 17-year-old John Campbell was wounded in the right foot, 18-year-old Larry Johnson was wounded in the right thigh and calf, and a 16-year-old boy received a chest wound.{{cite news |url = https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=15hSAAAAIBAJ&pg=5502,2197792 |title = 3 San Antonio teens wounded |work = The Victoria Advocate, Volume 145, Number 128 (Victoria, Texas) |date = September 12, 1990 |page = 3C }} The wounded students were all listed in stable conditions at various San Antonio hospitals. Police said they recovered a large-caliber pistol from the crime scene. Eighteen-year-old Kenneth Wolford, plus two other male students, were arrested and charged for the shooting. No serious incidents of violence at the school had occurred previously, although a cache of weapons had been found inside a school locker the week prior to the shooting and security was increased at the school as a result.{{cite news|url=https://www.upi.com/Archives/1990/09/11/Three-shot-wounded-in-confrontation-on-school-grounds/4334653025600/|title=Three shot, wounded in confrontation on school grounds|work=United Press International|date=September 11, 1990}}
