"The student was very upset, using profanity, threatening to kill people ... " said Harris County Precinct 4 Constable's Office Assistant Chief Deputy Larry Shiflet.
The girl was later released to a guardian and taken off school property.
Three hours later, the girl returned to the school, authorities said.
