[quote=Anonymous]The Banner has a lot more details. Gombo was there to pick up a friend to smoke weed and it sounds like the gun might not have been his?

[QUOTE]According to a police report, video of the incident begins with “a physical fight occurring between several students.”

Amid a struggle for the weapon, “a gunshot can be heard,” which dispersed some of those fighting.

A school district security officer rushed to the scene as the fight for the gun continued. According to court records, someone got control of the gun and placed it on the ground by the security officer, who “kicked the firearm further away from the group.”

The security officer then saw Gombo pick up the gun and begin walking toward a Kia and told him to drop it.

“Back up, Back up,” Gombo responded as he pointed the gun at the security officer, according to court records.

Gombo then placed the gun on the ground next to the Kia and the security officer pinned him against the vehicle.

The recovered gun had a “spent casing which was still lodged in the firearm and never ejected,” according to court records, which also said the wounded student was dropped off at a local hospital by other students.

Gombo told police that he had come to the school to pick up a friend so they could smoke marijuana when he saw his friend in a fight between two groups of students. He said he ran when the gun fired and that his decision to pick the gun up was a “stupid mistake,” court records said.[/QUOTE][/quote]
