22:40, you are a moron. go back to Whitman.

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.

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.

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?

Well done to the school security and Police Dept for a job well done.

Maybe he had a troubled childhood.

I am grateful to the school staff for knowing how to handle the situation and keeping our kids safe! Thank-you school staff!

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.

My child said he was inside and then outside during lunch. When the police came he was outside leaving down the street.

No the second day he was seen in the parking lot.

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!!

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.

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.
