BLYTHEWOOD – A 14-year-old student with a gun was arrested at Kelly Mill Middle School today, a sheriff’s spokesman said.
Another student reported the gun to an administrator who notified the school’s resource officer, according to sheriff’s reports.
After the officer approached the unnamed student and asked him to lift is jacket, an unloaded 9mm handgun was allegedly found stuffed in the waist of the student’s pants, according to the report.
The student was arrested and taken to the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center.
In a media release, Richland School District Two Director of Communications Libby Roof, said the District had sent an email to parents of students at the school notifying them of the incident.
“The student did not threaten anyone or indicate he planned to use the weapon against anyone,” Roof said.
The story will be updated as more information is available.
