Possible student shooter arrested in Maryland.
Police in Maryland found an AR-15 styled rifle, a shotgun, two handguns, ammunition and a tactical vest in the home of an 18-year-old honor roll student who police say last week brought a loaded 9mm handgun to school, authorities said Tuesday.
Officers also discovered that the suspect — Alwin Chen, a student at Clarksburg High School in Montgomery County — had previously brought the same handgun to school and had compiled a “list of grievances against students in the school,” Montgomery Assistant State’s Attorney Frank Lazzaro said.
He termed the list “possibly a motive for why he was going to use the gun.”
Given the weapons at his Germantown home, the accusation that he has brought a gun to school at least twice, and the alleged grievance list, Montgomery District Judge John C. Moffett said Chen “presents a serious danger to the community.”
He ordered Chen to be held in jail without an opportunity to post bond.
