[QUOTE]Parents in Montgomery County expressed frustration during a heated meeting Tuesday with Northwest High School officials after a student was arrested for bringing a loaded gun to school.

The 16-year-old, Jaiden Ochieng, was taken into police custody after school hours, but parents say they were not informed of the situation promptly.

Montgomery County Public Schools leaders explained that police notified them on Sept. 6 about a warrant for Ochieng, who is linked to an attempted murder and assault case from March in Germantown.

Though the school principal, Scott Smith, sent a letter stating the incident was "not related to our school," parents were concerned that the student had carried the loaded, stolen gun during the school day.

"It's just kind of crazy. Parents are really upset... it's really messy!" said April Stone, a concerned parent.

Another parent who attended Tuesday night's meeting, Yuki Nakandakri, expressed similar frustration, saying, "I came for answers, now I got more questions."

Students attending the meeting also left unsettled.

Alvaro Nakandakri, a junior, said, "There is no knowing what their intention was – it does bother me."[/QUOTE][/quote]
