KILLEEN, Texas - A Killeen ISD elementary school was evacuated Thursday morning after a student set a fire in a campus bathroom.
Killeen ISD says that around 9:40 a.m., smoke alarms went off on the second floor of Maude Moore Wood Elementary School, leading to an immediate evacuation of the campus. Fire crews arrived on the scene and located a small fire in the upstairs bathroom and put it out.
An investigation by the KISD police and the fire department determined that the fire was intentionally set. Killeen ISD says that a 10-year-old student later confessed to bringing matches to school and setting the toilet paper dispenser on fire.
