Original caption

Police have arrested a 15-year-old boy for bringing an unloaded gun to Hammond High School on Thursday. Howard County police public information officer Seth Hoffman told WMAR-2 News that another student witnessed the teen suspect on the bus with it on Wednesday, and alerted the administration the next day. "Of course, bringing a gun onto school property is very concerning. So we're thankful that the student who did see it said something to administrators exactly what the student should have done," Hoffman said.
