SUITLAND, Md. – The Prince George’s County Police Department arrested two Suitland High School students who brought handguns on to school property today. The first student is a 16-year-old male from Suitland. He is charged as an adult. The second student is 18-year-old Christopher Harris of New Carrollton.
At approximately 11:00 am, deputies with the Prince George’s County Office of the Sheriff responded to the school to execute an arrest warrant for the 16-year-old student. He was wanted by the PGPD for a carjacking on June 29, 2022, in District Heights.
When the deputies and the School Resource Officer located the student, a gun was recovered from him waistband. He was taken into custody.
He is charged with the original carjacking as well as multiple gun-related charges to include possession of a handgun on school property.
Several hours later, at approximately 2:00 pm, the SRO received information that originated from a parent that a second student, Christopher Harris, was potentially armed with a handgun.
The SRO and school security personnel located the student in a hallway. A gun was located in his backpack.
He was then taken into custody. Harris will be charged with multiple charges to include possession of a dangerous weapon on school property as well as multiple gun-related offenses.
Both of these incidents remain under active investigation.
PG County is only going to get worse. I see that DC is trying a new tactic to curb “gun violence”. Now THAT’S funny!!! They’re so ignorant (how ignorant?) that they think their “Band Aid on a broken leg” is going to do anything to reduce it…
I went to HS in Forestville in the late 60s and early 70s and hung out at LaReine HS often to meet some ladies. Suitland HS (right next door) was a bad place to hang out back then! No stabbings or guns, but a lot of fights. Nice job parents!!!
Always one Cracker Jack in the crowd. No body care about your opinion buddy
If he grew up there and went to school there, his opinion has a little more weight than most. No need to try and insult anyone here.
18 years old, at the beginning of the school year. What does that tell you?
I also like how they recovered the gun from him waistband…
