Body camera footage shows police find loaded pistol in Taylor High School student's fanny pack

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Omaha Steve (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

Police were called to the school Wednesday morning (Sept. 22) after the student allegedly threatened a security guard.

“He was walking the halls aimlessly and was approached by school security. He became belligerent with them, uses foul language and mentions he’s going to shoot the security guard -- making a shooting sign with his hand,” Detective Alex Stellini said.

The student was escorted to the principal’s office, is accused of making more threats and declined a search of his fanny pack. When police arrived the scene, the student was leaving the building and heading for his mother’s SUV.

Police said the student got inside the SUV and police officers knocked on the windows, asking the student and the mother to go inside. When police searched the fanny pack they discovered a loaded pistol with the serial number scratched off.

... if and when he gets released from jail, he has to face a pissed-off mother.

Rights? You have the right to answer all my questions. Anything you say, and anything you don't say, will be held against you in the court of your mama.

She was not pleased with her offspring when a gun was found in his pack.

Having a pistol with the serial numbers altered or removed is a felony to go along with possessing a firearm at a school and threatening people.

Certainly the gun in school is a problem, the altered serial number is a problem. It's unclear if he ever pulled out the gun or threatened anyone. The police will want to know where he got the gun, and they'll probably ask that endlessly.

He may not understand the seriousness, because he's just a kid with a developing brain. The article I saw on television didn't go into his history with the legal system.

I sure as hell understood the seriousness of someone bringing a loaded gun to a school, thank goodness no one thought like that at my school.

The first thing that comes to some kids minds seems to be "kill".
