"The situation was contained very, very quickly," the sheriff's department said. The school was placed on lockdown and the approximately 250 students were evacuated to be reunited with their parents, authorities said.
"There is no ongoing threat to students," the sheriff's department said.
Hill Country College Preparatory High School is closed on Tuesday and counselors will be available to students, Principal Julie Wiley said.
"Our hearts are with everyone impacted, especially that teacher, their family, and our school community," Wiley said in a statement. "We know this has been a difficult day. I want to personally thank our local law enforcement officers, amazing staff, and district administrators for their swift response, professionalism and care of our students."
