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.

Actually, my silly neighbor took care of it.

I just spent some time watching him mow his grass while attempting to avoid any blade of grass that could possibly be “mine”.
He works so hard at it.

I laugh my butt off every time.

A BB is 17.7 caliber.

Divide by 100.

Pieper? Grandson of SS Obersturmbahnfuhrer Jochim Pieper?

If memory serves, he was the Nazi war criminal of the Battle of the Bulge, who ordered his troops to execute American POWs.

I guess the apple didn’t fall far from that tree.

Yes he was. And he was more than that. Jochim Pieper was notorious for locking civilians and POWs in barns and churches and setting them on fire. It was a standard tactic of the Waffen SS. It earned him the name “Blow Torch’’.

“How do you get two pipers to play in unison?

Shoot one of them.”

Evidently, Pieper took this old piper joke seriesly.

I don't think I've ever seen one of those.

three-caliber Smith and Wesson handgun

I've heard of driling long guns, but they are just two.
