BPR: A Maryland high school student who was arrested last week for bringing a handgun to school also had a mini-arsenal of firearms and explosives at his suburban Washington home, Montgomery County officials said Tuesday.
Clarksburg High School student Alwin Chen, 18, was arrested Thursday after a school resource officer found a Glock 9mm pistol and ammunition in his backpack, reports WJLA Washington. He was charged with possession of a handgun, possession of a firearm by a person under 21 years old and possession of a firearm on school property after the incident.
Speaking in court on Tuesday, Montgomery County investigators said the firearm in Chen’s backpack was one of several weapons the teen kept at home. A subsequent search of his home turned up multiple guns — including an AR-15 style rifle — ammunition, inert grenades, and a ballistic vest, reports WJLA.
Police also found a list of grievances against Chen’s fellow students on his person when they arrested him. read more
Wow! Not typical of an Asian kid. I wonder if he was a member of a gang? We have them here – Hmongs. Some bad ones murdered an elderly man here and they all got life in prison. Battered him to death with a baseball bat. Glad he got caught! Put him away!
Let me guess, he was on long term psychotropics? ‘Cause they always are.
#BanBackpacks!
Change anyone’s opinion on the police response? Clearly not a pellet gun!
How many laws were broken? What new laws would have prevented his arsenal?
Impossible to believe that somebody does not know about the next shooter and did not know about the last shooting.
Those that are anti gun know that many innocent lives will be taken in pursuit of their quest – no different than Fast and Furious.
“Sacrifices have to be made mister” – Enforcer 1976, still true today
Sum Ting Wong?
Don’t get it, I couldn’t keep a pack of rubbers hidden anywhere in my room without my mother finding them. How uninvolved in your kids lives do you have to be to miss an ammo dump?
Like the Keebler elves, they stayed in a hollow tree.
Conspiracy theory, did the Floriduh shooter fall through the cracks because of his last name?
@Goldenfoxx: the Virginia Tech shooter was Asian. He also did not use a rifle, but definitely benefited from being in a gun free zone.
Inert grenades<<<<
Finally, a school has done its job! The guns are merely hostages of the insanity. They, themselves, are inanimate objects and as such, must stay where they are laid. Might as well ban trees. Or cars, or drug needles.
We should have strict grenade control laws.
Oh, we do.
I heard a truck full of ammonia nitrate is more deadly than an AR
These days a truckload of ammonium nitrate is probably quite a bit harder to get than a couple of ARs. It’s not easy being green.
“brought a gun to school on a previous occasion”
And was allowed back?
A judge ordered Chen to be held without bond …
Finally!
Open the door……..I too would go into my kids rooms at least once a day…laundry..looking to see if they cleaned their rooms etc. what is up with parents today??????
Headline here says “C-4”. The news dude ‘tweet’? says “detonator” for C-4 Land Mine.
Big difference. One is a high explosive, the other is a fancy way to make the same spark your grill lighter does.
@Petrus
Two different incidents – this one was at Clarksburg HS in Clarksburg, MD and he had a Glock 19. This did not involve a SWAT team.
The other was at Loch Raven HS, which is in Towson, MD, and he had the pellet gun. This is the one with the SWAT team video.
Inert grenades? Oh, you mean “paperweights”?
What C-4? Why wasn’t he charged with possession of explosives? Because he didn’t have any or something?
A Chinese man that just moved to the United States goes to a bank to exchange his yuan for US dollars. He gives the teller 100 yuan and the teller exchanges it for $100. He thanks the teller and leaves.
A week later, the Chinese man returns to the bank with another 100 yuan to exchange. This time the teller only gives him $90. The man asks why he got less than last week and the teller replies “Oh, market changes and, you know, fluctuations.”
Clearly offended, the man gets red in the face and yells “Oh yeah?! Well FLUCK YOU AMERICANS TOO!”
C-4?!?!? I’m 50 years old, and CAN’T buy that!!! What age restrictions do the leftards wanna put on THAT?! 100 years? 1,000 years? SURELY they’ve got the answer!!! 🙄
Thanks for the clarification Jethro!
One thing is for sure and that’s MD has issues!
His brother was arrested to 23 years old with a lot a guns AR 15 and more .
Nothing surprises me of this state. The state is the worse on crime. I tell people don’t visit Baltimore, PG or other areas if you love your life.
Murlund doesnt exactly have the least stringent gun laws in the union. Yet, this dude is getting weapons in flagrant violation of those laws and more gun “control” is supposed to help how?
