Assault reported at Bethesda Elementary School
Montgomery County police responded to a report of a 2nd-degree assault at Bethesda Elementary School at 7600 Arlington Road in downtown Bethesda yesterday afternoon. The assault was reported at the school at 3:10 PM Wednesday. No further information about the incident is available at this time.

And a drive-by shooting at WJ. Great week in MCPS land where literal criminals are enrolled so no wonder.
ReplyDeleteThey just raised our property taxes to edumacate the huddled masses.
DeleteJohnny justice would take issue with that labeling.
DeleteA first-grader punching another first-grader?
DeleteYeah, can't even stop by the Giant during WJ lunchtime.
Delete@2:55 Buckle up for round 2 of the property tax pinwheel as Moore/Elrich has managed to saddle MD with huge entitlements for illegals.
Delete@ 4:23 AM It could have been a kindergartner up to a fifth grader.
DeleteMCPS Official--Bethesda Elementary School administrators have confirmed that no assault was reported at the school on Wednesday, October 21, contrary to a published report. MCPS takes all matters involving school safety seriously and encourages the verification of facts before information is shared publicly.
ReplyDeleteMCPS Official: The assault appears in the dispatch records of MCPD for that time and date, at a school in the 7600 block of Arlington Road. That is an official police and Montgomery County government data point, not a rumor.
DeleteDon't worry, when they get older they completely change.
