According to detectives, on Wednesday January 19 at around 10:30 a.m., the student in question was summoned to the front office to discuss his grades.
A strong smell of marijuana emanated from the students backpack and that led school officials to investigate further. Officials searched the student’s personal belongings where they found a firearm with ammunition. BSO Threat Management Unit detectives were immediately called in. They arrested the student, who know faces felony charges.
According to detectives, the 16 year old male student stated he did not bring the gun to school with the intention of using it there. He said that he carried it for protection on his walk to and from school. Because of the severity of the finding of a gun with ammunition, detectives took took the young man to the Juvenile Assessment Center. He was charged with a felony for possessing a firearm on school property.
It is impossible to know what intentions the student had in mind when he brought the gun to school. If he really is scared on his way to and from school then this is also very serious and mandates further investigation as he could be a victim of bullying and also deserves to be protected and to feel safe.
One thing we can be certain of is that given the severity and frequency of school shootings in the United States, it is eminently important that any and all threats are taken seriously and reported. Only in this way can we hope to thwart more threats in the future.
