Student arrested for carrying gun to school in Bethesda


Montgomery County police arrested a student at Northwood High School in Bethesda yesterday morning, after he was found to allegedly be in possession of a firearm at the school. Isaiah Gaunt, 17, of Silver Spring has been charged as an adult with possession of a firearm without a serial number, handgun on person, possession of a firearm by a minor, and loaded handgun on person. Police say he was carrying a loaded 3D printed privately manufactured firearm (PMF) in his waistband. 

Gaunt was arrested without incident, police say. The alleged firearm came to light during an altercation between Gaunt and another student earlier Friday morning. Police officers were then dispatched to the school, located at 11211 Old Georgetown Road, at 8:23 AM.

    IIRC possession of weapon with rubbed out serial number is 10k fine and up to 2 years. I think they should rewrite it and make it a mandatory jail sentence.

      Doesn't matter what laws are on the books when the liberals in charge don't want to enforce them. Picking and choosing the laws they want to enforce is the ultimate gaslighting they're accusing Trump of when he is actually enforcing existing law.

      There are a bunch of students who attend Whitman using addresses they don't actually live at, (relatives, friends, fraudulent leases). See them in the morning waiting in cars a couple blocks away while walking the dog. If you live in the Einstein or Kennedy cluster, the motivation is high.

      7:30 Been wonder that since the late 60's, frankly.

    3. 7:30 - Because it's a holding school right now for Northwood which is being completely renovated. The better question would be, why has our society devolved into children bringing weapons of any kind to school? Get off the damn devices and social media. Ok, last question, where are the parents? It's really incredibly that some parents are so dumb and blind not to know their high school kid has a gun with seemingly unfettered access to it.

      Possibly, he was bullied and intimidated at the previous one.

    I believe it was a 3D printed gun (not a number rubbed out). Also believe this is Northwood at old old Woodward HS location, as their school is being redone.

    The Westland parking lot resembles a bus depot.

    8:38. On so many levels this has ruined education for those that want to be. One forced disruptor in the name of truancy reduction poisons the entire classroom, if not eventually the entire school. I'm a 69 yo product of DCs busing (Deal JHS, with the likes of Bill Nye who escaped to Sidwell, and even BW, the girl 'involved' with Peter Yarrow (yes, of PPM fame.) She, too, got out! It was miserable because of bussing.

    2:19 Agree!! That's why this time our success will be delivered by a business person, and not self-serving narcissistic career politicians! It's really the only way.
