A shooting at a Texas high school that left at least nine students and a teacher dead Friday morning forced the $939 million Amoco Federal Credit Union to close its branch that is about two miles from the scene of the crime.
In an email sent to CU Times, Amoco FCU's CEO, Shawn Bailey, stated, “This is obviously a very devastating tragedy for our community. Our commitment to the Santa Fe community extends beyond financial services so naturally this horrific event is difficult for all of us to process. Our deepest thoughts and prayers are with the Santa Fe community and our current focus is on those impacted by this tragedy, both directly and indirectly.”
At about 7:45 a.m., police responded to an active shooter report at the Santa Fe High School in Santa Fe, about 35 miles southeast of Houston. A 17-year-old male suspect, believed to be a Santa Fe High School student, and another person of interest are in police custody, according to national media reports. About a dozen other people were reported to be injured during the incident.
Following the shooting, police also warned the public that possible pipe bombs and pressure cooker explosive devices have been located at the school and off campus.
“Several of our employees and members have children who attend school there or have other family members and friends who work there, and we will do whatever we can to help them during this uncertain time,” Amoco FCU posted on its Facebook Page at 11 a.m., CST, 12 p.m. EST.

“As a result of this unfortunate incident, the credit union will not be opening its Santa Fe Branch lobby today and will be closings its Drive Thru services at 12 p.m.,” Amoco FCU said. “The Alvin and Friendswood branches have resumed normal operations. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this difficult time for our community.”
Amoco FCU said it received a local emergency management notification at about 8:41 a.m. and delayed opening its Santa Fe, Alvin and Friendswood branches.
Amoco FCU is based in Texas City and serves more than 84,000 members.
