RICHMOND, TX (KTRK) -- One man is now in police custody after a bizarre incident this morning at William Velasquez Elementary in Richmond.

Fort Bend County authorities tell us two men -- and not teens as previously reported -- were apprehended around 8am in the 400 block of Macek Road today after one man was shooting on the school's roof while the other man played bagpipes.

Authorities determined one of the men -- the bagpipes player -- was not involved in the incident and was later released, saying he was "in the wrong place at the wrong time."

The other man, Christian Peiper, 20, of Richmond, was arrested. Several charges are pending, according to Rosenberg police.

Police say Peiper was in possession of a three-caliber Smith and Wesson handgun used in the incident which was later reported stolen to the Fort Bend County Sheriff's Department.

Though the incident happened on a school campus, police say they do not believe at this point Peiper's intended to target the school or students.

There were no injuries.

The school alarm was not tripped during the incident. Authorities say they have recorded surveillance footage of Peiper at the school, but the video is not monitored.

Of course there were no injuries from the shooter - how much damage can someone do with a three caliber handgun:

The bagpipes are an entirely different matter... I assume the piper will be charged with assault...

...possession of a three-caliber Smith and Wesson

I was not aware Smith & Wesson makes a pea shooter. (Are story fact checkers gone missing?!)

So which ones of those two followed the other, and stayed around after either show started?

Taking your tag line into account, BBs are .177 caliber

Might I suggest then that you watch The Court Jester and combat that headache with a few hearty chuckles.

Understood - but do you actually SAY “point twenty-two caliber” when referring to a twenty-two, or do you say “Twenty-two caliber”?

Gee, I know some folks don’t care for the sound of pipes, but this is a little excessive.

The 2 mm Kolibri (also known as the 2.7 mm Kolibri Car Pistol or 2.7×9 mm Kolibri) is the smallest commercially available centerfire cartridge. It’s half the size of a twenty-two caliber. (.11 inch)

I would say Peiper followed the piper.
