Just a day after a student was caught with a handgun at a Montgomery County high school, the school’s principal, students and parents expressed shock about Thursday’s incident.
WTOP reports Alwin Chen, 18, of Germantown, Maryland, was located in his Clarksburg High School classroom at around 2 p.m., carrying a handgun and a knife.
Clarksburg High School’s Principal Edward Owusu said that while Chen’s motives behind Thursday’s incident are unknown, he does not believe he intended to harm anyone.
Owusu said there were no warning signs that Chen might bring a gun to school. He called Chen a good student who was “coming to school everyday, doing the thing we tell kids to do: Join the athletics teams, join the clubs, get involved with the school. That’s what he was doing.”
