That’s his current registered address. Why would he submit an old address when arrested?


People are reporting misinformation. The address listed on the arrest record is for the Wootton catchment in Rockville (specifically Fallsmead).


Where do you find this information? Rockville has several high schools

There is no evidence that the kid with the ankle monitor was the shooter. Some have said he and another kid jumped on the shooter to stop him. Others have said the kid with the ankle monitor was the one who got shot. In other words, everyone is just spreading rumors that may or may not turn out to be true.

There are two different juvenile arrest records one listing a Rockville address and one listing a DC address. Did they arrest two kids or are these two separate events?


They are two separate juveniles and two separate incidents. The person involved in the Wootton shooting lives in the Wootton catchment area.


Where did you find the address?

The address/street name is listed on the public arrest record. It is in the Wootton catchment area (not zoned for another Rockville school).

They have one. He just happened to not be on site.

That's because it's not an SRO but a CEO. A CEO does not stay inside the school nor walk the halls unless invited by the Principal. A CEO is shared with the cluster.

Bring back SROs.


No, we don't need police in schools and they don't really stop shit like this from happening, anyway. See Uvalde or Parkland, for example.


Yes, we do. A good officer could shoot the shooter. There are plenty of situations where they do step in and resolve it. The two you are choosing are the worst but there are many times SRO's save lives. Some schools have an officer sitting outside a lot of time. Ours do.


All schools needs metal detectors. The school is huge. An officer cant cover the whole school. They would not have prevented a one off shooting targeting a specific individual. A police officer may be able to reduce the amount of people killed in a mass shooting but most times, they won’t be able to stop a shooting from happening in the first place.

The only issue I have with metal detectors is the amount of things students are ALLOWED to have that will set them off. It will take like 45-60 minutes to screen kids one by one to enter the building like a TSA process

At JR HS (NW DC) it takes ~ an hour to get students in in the morning

It’s much faster than that if it’s done right. Other school districts which have metal detectors have no issue in the morning.
