Waxahachie Elementary school students located

WAXAHACHIE – Late last week the Waxahachie Police Department received a phone call according to Facebook that two Wedgeworth Elementary students had not made it home from school. 

The Facebook post indicated, “After speaking with one of the parents, it was determined they may have attempted walking home as this is their typical routine.”

From there the PD along with school employees began looking for the students on foot and using drones. The search included any location in between the school and their homes where they might be found.

“Ultimately, it was discovered the children had been picked up by another family member and were safe,” the Facebook post confirmed.

The Police Department expressed thanks to all the residents and school employees for helping search for the students both on foot and through the use of home security camera footage.
