Willis - Two students at Willis High School were taken into custody Tuesday morning after making statements about having a bomb, according to school officials, as the campus began implementing heightened security measures following a string of gun-related incidents.

The latest incident comes just one day after administrators discovered a gun inside a student's backpack, prompting a campus hold and the student's arrest.

In an email sent to families Tuesday, Principal Tiffany Mathews said two students made verbal statements to staff about having a bomb.
