Dear Wheaton High School Families,
This afternoon, we received a report of a possible weapon on campus. We immediately notified the Montgomery County Police Department and the MCPS Office of Systemwide Safety and Emergency Management. When approached by security, the student in question left campus. Out of an abundance of caution, at 1:51 pm, we directed students, staff, and visitors to shelter in place, and we notified our neighboring schools, who also sheltered in place. At 2:21 pm, we were directed to release the shelter and resume business as usual.
Please know that we are working closely and collaborating with police and our MCPS Office of Systemwide Safety and Emergency Management to fully investigate today's events, in which we will hold all students involved accountable in alignment with the MCPS Student Code of Conduct. Additionally, we will provide support and resources to students who may have been affected by today's events.
Should we get more information concerning this matter, we will share it, as appropriate. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely,
Pamela W Krawczel
This is insane. MCPS is openly admitting they let a student who they suspected of having a gun on them leave campus without holding him for police to search and confirm if he had a weapon on him?
What if when he left the school campus he went and shot someone in the community?
Also, why doesn’t the letter indicate whether police were sent after the child left the school to see and search for a weapon? I don’t understand how MCPS approaches things like this.
What, they should have pulled out machine guns and mowed him down so he couldn't make an escape?

Have you complained to Wheaton Cluster Director Joe Rubens?

But the police didn't say that they investigated him.
I'm willing to bet that the no weapon found is about no weapon in the school being found. And I'm also betting that was because said student left the building.
MCPD and MCPS do not work well together.
MCPS can always rely on MCPD, but they never cooperate well. Look at other criminal activity in other MCPS schools and you’ll find out. MCPS is BS.

I saw the same as what moco show wrote and it came directly from police on twitter but I listened to the scanner and it made it seem like this happened Monday and they returned to school on Tuesday and got arrested? Hard to piece together

Reports of a “weapon” on campus at Wheaton HS today. Anyone know anything?
