Kyle Chris, 39, originally from Iraq, became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2022 and changed his name to Kyle Najm Chris, according to court documents
Kyle Chris, 39, also known as Muhi Mohanad Najm, was arrested at his home Wednesday night and faces a felony charge of unlawfully carrying a weapon in a prohibited place after the incident at Zwink Elementary School,
Fox Houston reported.
Chris, originally from Baghdad, Iraq, became a naturalized U.S. citizen on Aug. 24, 2022 and changed his name to Kyle Najm Chris, according to court documents.
He was arrested at his home, located minutes from the school by Klein Independent School District police.
However,
the school's "secure vestibule" system stopped him from going any further by keeping him trapped in the front office area, the district said.
"When the individual was asked by the front office staff to provide identification, he did not provide identification, and the front office staff immediately contacted our armed, full-time campus guard," the district said in a letter to parents obtained by Fox News Digital.
Chris was unable to get into the hallways where students were located.
