KITTERY, Maine — A Traip Academy student is facing charges after police say the teenager brought a gun to the institution last week.
Kittery police Chief Paul Callaghan said in a news release that authorities were tipped off when another child’s parent called the school to report the incident.
Callaghan said the boy brought the gun to school March 27 and showed it to a few fellow students. Nobody was injured or threatened, the chief added.
The boy’s name was not released because he is under 18. Callaghan declined to divulge the specific charge the boy is facing.
Ridiculous. The owner of the gun should be charged with negligence.
Agreed , guns should be secured when not in use !
After what happened in Oakland, CA yesterday, I don’t blame him.
That certainly would be my defense……….
Except if that was really the reason, he shouldn’t have been showing it to other students. :-)
wonder what..triggered this lapse in judgement..
DON’T let this child say a word without an attorney.
IF the child brought a gun to school, an expulsion is all but guaranteed. The witnesses are the people who will most likely make or break this kid’s future.
Not that it would matter with some, the article did not indicate if he had any ammuniton?
