Apparently an incident involving youth near Silver Spring metro this evening. Resources were probably needed over there too.

What a sad excuse for a press conference.
Gun isn’t recovered.
Interesting that Marcus Jones wasn’t even there.

A. He was making a video
B. He is Taylor's police office (yep you hard earning tax layers' $)
C. He is retired
C. All of the above

WJ and Blair ha e over 3,000 kids, and most HSs have over 2,000. ID checks are not the answer.

Ghost guns and kids opening the door for a friend will thwart metal detectors.

Stop making it so easy to get a gun
Treat mental health issues
Return SROs - they get to know the kids, and learn which ones are trouble v which ones are in trouble, and put a stop to a bunch of trouble before it happens

My HS has something like 65 doors that lead in and out of the building. Kids are always texting people to prop open side doors all day to get back in. How do we prevent that without breaking fire codes that prohibit locking these exits?

At the W high school my kid goes to there are only 2 doors that are open to get into the school in the morning. That’s where the IDs are checked.

At the W school my kids go to, well over half of tj kids are holding up a blank phone screen or piece of paper to get through the ID check because they are trying to get thousands of kids through 2 doors in 15 minutes time and no one really has time to check IDs.

shocker...

Oh wait, no, not at all. Any who has any experience with physical security would have predicted that.

A Wootton student posted on Reddit about what happened. A key excerpt:

At some point the shooter got into a car with his sister and mother and was driving away from Wootton when police caught them on Falls Road and arrested the three of them.

The rest is also useful, here's the link:

Mcps students can walk into school buildings with literally anything in their backpacks. And high school students walk around with their backpacks all day.

Checking IDs is unhelpful when the shooters are students and legitimately allowed in the building.

That won't stop this.

Parents are the issue.

Look we have MAGA stupids all over this country. We can not even get them to read cognitively and not support a Pedophile/felon/con/ traitor and you want them to "do something"

They can not even tie their own shoes.

Mcps is the most liberal county in the us

Wootton story will be forgotten and we will move on until the next one. I have kids in MCPS, so all of this directly affects me.

I want to agree with and support this poster. My heart broke in a permanent way after Sandy Hook. If a room full of dead 1st graders didn’t change our laws or our ways then nothing will. My son was the same age — those kids would be sophomores in college now if they had lived. I will vote for change, I will support change, but I fully expect this will just keep happening.

+1, from another mom of a college sophomore. I do hope that our kids who grew up with this in such a real way, will bring some sanity to the policy here.

Taylor said Wootton would resume school tomorrow in the press conference he just participated in.
