A 17-year-old student is facing charges after his loaded gun fell onto the gym floor at a Prince George’s County, Maryland, alternative school on Thursday morning, police said. ... It happened at Non-Traditional Program 9-12 South school in Cheltenham, Prince George’s County police said.
A “ghost gun”— a gun without a serial number — fell out of the teenage boy’s waistband in the gym at around 9:15 a.m., police said.
The 9th-grade student is being charged with having a handgun, having a dangerous weapon on school property, possession of a firearm by a minor and having loaded handgun.
Run by Prince George’s County Public Schools, the alternative school is designed for students in 9th-12th grades, according to its website. It used to be known as Croom Vocational.
