Fetus Found at Dallas High School: Police

Authorities are investigating after they say a human fetus was found in a girls restroom Friday afternoon at Woodrow Wilson High School in East Dallas.

A staff member made the discovery, officials said, and responding medical authorities determined the remains to be a human fetus.

Dallas police said surveillance video at the school is being reviewed, and they tweeted that the investigation is in the preliminary stages:

The Dallas Independent School District said parents and guardians of Woodrow Wilson students will be notified, and they encourage families to discuss the situation. Counseling support will be available to students and staff members into next week.

Officials ask that if any student knows who the fetus may belong to or has any other information that could help, they should contact Dallas police.

DISD released the following statement Friday evening:

Dallas ISD is deeply saddened by the situation that occurred today at Woodrow Wilson High School. This afternoon, responding medical authorities determined that a human fetus had been found in a girls restroom at the school.
