SAN ANTONIO – A substitute teacher at a North East ISD middle school was arrested Friday after bringing a gun on campus, district officials confirmed.
Shawn Wesley, 54, was booked on a charge of possessing a weapon in a prohibited place, a third-degree felony offense.

A student reported the situation to a staff member at about 1 p.m. Wesley was detained and searched by NEISD police who found the firearm and secured it, according to a letter sent to parents by the school’s principal.
Students told administrators that Wesley was “conducting active shooter training on her own without any authority to do so.”
The principal said her message to students “is not supported or endorsed by NEISD.”
Wesley will also be banned from substituting at any NEISD campus in the future, the principal said.
Records with the Bexar County Jail show she has since been released after posting bond. A hearing is scheduled for July.
