This is a really serious incident. This school needs some positive news. Between the coach having sex with a 16yr old, gang problems, gun lockdown 2yrs ago, sex in the halls last year, and now a handgun being brought in a gym bag from a former student who tried twice to get into the school. Scary sh$t. Very lucky security saw him. This could have been another school shooting.

| I am wondering how the school picked him out as a non-student amongst all the other 18 years olds there. Did he have a history of problems when he attended the school? I only wish the list you cited was unique to one high school. |
| He came in the day before and was found inside the school wandering. Someone asked him what class he was supposed to be in and he said he was a former student coming back to look around. They asked him to leave. Someone on security saw him again the next day during lunch time inside the school again. VERY scary!! |
| No the second day he was seen in the parking lot. |
| My child said he was inside and then outside during lunch. When the police came he was outside leaving down the street. |
| Hmmm, according to court records, he's been arrested a lot, and is 19. Not 18. And from the nature of prior charges, my guess is he has mental health issues. |
| I am grateful to the school staff for knowing how to handle the situation and keeping our kids safe! Thank-you school staff! |
| Maybe he had a troubled childhood. |
|
The SRO had a tip that he was coming and would be armed. They knew to look out for him.
Well done to the school security and Police Dept for a job well done. |
| Agree - kudos to school security and the pd |
Yes. Agreed. |
|
Agreed that they did a good job with the situation. Question: if they had a tip that he was coming and he was armed, why wasnt the school on lockdown to visitors?
Other question: is this a "criminally oriented youth subculture" (I.e. Gang) incident? Does RM need enhanced Security? |
| the coach had the charges dropped you can't hold that against anyone but the state's attorney and the loop hole in the law. |
| Kudos to the staff?? He was on school property with a gun. So glad my kid doesn't go there. These days it seems like SE DC high schools are better than RM. |
| 22:40, you are a moron. go back to Whitman. |
