A busted pipe in the ceilings of Fulshear High School created a terrifying and potentially dangerous situation for students Thursday.
In a video submitted to the KPRC 2 Help Desk, water can be seen bellowing out of the ceilings and pouring onto desks in a classroom as students carefully file out.

The sender also said that students were not sent home after the incident despite being exposed to the fast-moving water covering the school.
KPRC 2 reached out to Fulshear’s district, Lamar Consolidated Independent School District, and they provided the following statement:
We are aware of the rumors circulating regarding the recent infrastructure issue at Fulshear High School that occurred this morning. We want to clarify the situation and address the misinformation directly.
Earlier today, a water pipe in the 1300 hall burst, affecting approximately 12 classrooms. The pipe in question carried only domestic water, and reports of a toilet falling through the ceiling, along with fecal matter and urine pouring down, are completely inaccurate. Our maintenance team assessed the situation promptly and confirmed these facts.
Repairs are underway, and the campus was placed on a HOLD to ensure the safety and security of our students and staff as we resolved the issue. We appreciate the community’s understanding and patience as we work to maintain a safe learning environment for all.
Thank you for reaching out for accurate information. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have further questions or need additional details.
In a subsequent email sent by KPRC 2 Friday morning, the district classes were continuing and had no additional updates to add.
