On March 18, 2024, at 10:30 a.m., several students at Milton Somers Middle School were walking in the hallway with a school staff member, and they began pulling on locker doors causing some lockers to open.
As they were directed to stop, the staff member observed what appeared to be a handgun protruding from a backpack in one of the lockers.
The school resource officer recovered the handgun and determined it was a toy gun. The student who was assigned the locker was identified and placed into a separate room where the student then struck another student who was already in the room.
Under Maryland law, the involved student cannot be charged with a criminal offense; however, the Charles County Department of Juvenile Services was contacted.
Anyone with information is asked to contact PFC Duley at 301-609-3282 ext. 0494.
