LANDOVER, Md. – The Prince George’s County Police Department is investigating after a student at Fairmont Heights High School in Landover brought a loaded gun onto school property. The 17-year-old junior will be charged as an adult.
This morning, shortly before 11:00 am, the assigned School Resource Officer was notified that Prince George’s Schools security personnel recovered the gun from the student. The preliminary investigation revealed a witness notified administrators the suspect may possess illegal drugs. During a search of the student, the gun and drugs were recovered. The weapon had an attached machine conversion device.
The student will be charged with handgun on person, dangerous weapon on school property, possession of a firearm by a minor, loaded handgun on person, machine gun – aggressive purpose, rapid fire trigger activator violation as well as possession of a controlled substance.
Now how did that gun get into a “Gun Free School Zone”? I thought there was a law against such things? And that auto sear to make it fully automatic? Did this kid have the required ATF background check, permit, and paid the tax for such? And isn’t it illegal for a minor to possess a regulated firearm in the State of Maryland? Questions, questions, questions.
SOUTHERN MARYLAND LOVES THEIR GUNS. That’s your answer.
What is going in the schools. If a student is charge with a fire arm, the parents of the student should be charged also they are responsible for their children, if the parent is not during their job charge the parent. The schools need more counseling for student in trouble bulling, home issues, learning issues.
