An armed man who entered Zwink Elementary School in Klein, Texas, in tactical gear has been positively identified as Kyle Najm Chris, born Muhi Mohanad Najm, a 39-year-old Iraqi immigrant naturalized as a U.S. citizen under the Joe Biden regime in 2022.
The incident occurred on Tuesday when the suspect walked into the school’s main office wearing a load-bearing vest with a holstered handgun and a taser. School personnel questioned him about how he had bypassed security and asked for identification, but he claimed that the front door had been left unlatched. He refused to provide any personal details or justification for his presence before leaving the building and driving away in a dark blue Dodge Charger.
In a message sent to families, the district explained why no immediate public alert was issued: “Sending a public notification during that window could have tipped off the suspect and delayed the arrest.”
The suspect was identified through school surveillance video, facial recognition technology, and vehicle license plate records. He was arrested at his residence on Wednesday at approximately 6:30 PM. Investigators confirmed he has no connection to Klein ISD, the school, or any students or staff.
Records show he holds a Texas Concealed Handgun License and a private investigator license. He now faces a third-degree felony charge of possession of a prohibited weapon for carrying a firearm onto school property.
