Yesterday, Sgt. Solsbery, said no updates were forthcoming; however, this morning San Angelo LIVE! learned there were efforts to increase security at Lake View High School in case of possible gang retaliation. The two victims had ties to the high school.

"The two students who were involved in this tragedy are students who were enrolled with us in the past," said Jamie Highsmith, public information officer for the San Angelo Independent School District.

Highsmith added that Superintendent Dr. Carl Dethloff and district leaders have been in constant communication with SAPD's Chief Tim Vasquez and Assistant Chief of Investigations Robert Martinez over the weekend. 

"We are grateful for the SAPD’s quick response to support our campuses," Highsmith said. "District counselors are on stand-by and several have been dispatched to serve the campuses in need. Due to the nature of this tragic event, SAISD and the SAPD are providing increased security to ensure as normal a routine and schedule as possible."
