Our Office immediately dispatched a School Resource Officer to begin an investigation into this matter. Upon arrival, further information obtained was that this identified male juvenile suspect was making attempts to purchase a firearm from an identified juvenile student. At that time the Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigation Unit Detectives immediately responded to assist in this investigation.
Multiple witnesses and suspects were located, identified, and interviewed.
As a result, a consent search was performed at the identified suspect juvenile’s residence. A thorough search revealed a BB Gun which was seized as evidence.
Detectives were able to determine that the BB Gun was, in fact, the same item initially referred to as a firearm.
The additional information obtained from these interviews identified the subject as juvenile that wished to purchase the alleged firearm, was doing so for protection due to owing money to several individuals that threatened the juvenile suspect.
There is no credible threat of a shooting being planned or taking place and there is no immediate threat to the community.
The Sheriff’s Office will continue deploying additional resources to the Stevensville / Elementary School complex to alleviate any concerns from parents, faculty, students, and staff.
This investigation is still active and ongoing, the Queen Anne’s County States Attorney’s Office will be consulted for further disposition.
Sheriff Gary Hofmann was deeply concerned about the allegations and has been instrumental for the past several months in making sure our staff is consistently in our schools until the end of this school year, and along with our county commissioners will be deploying new resource officers to this upcoming school year. The Sheriff has authorized command staff as well as All units both in marked and unmarked patrols to continue our efforts to ensure all of our students have a safe learning environment for everyone.
“I credit school staff and our community for immediately reporting this post on social media to our office, it takes your reporting of anything to keep us all safe!” Added Gary Hofmann Sheriff
Great, the police just document and publish their unconstitutional crimes!! A consent search?? Is that what they call illegal entry and constitutional violations now? AND they stole a B.B. gun?? What else did they steal?? Why aren’t they arresting heroin dealers, ms-13 rapist and murderers?? Because elementary school rumors are easier and safer to chase down. This family just got rich because of stupid backwoods Barney’s!! Lol
ReplyDeleteLOL someone sounds crazy
ReplyDeleteSince when is it illegal to sell a BB gun?
ReplyDeleteYou're gonna shoot your eye out, kid!
ReplyDelete7:07 What you and everyone needs to ask yourself and think long and hard about is this:
ReplyDeleteI saw an article, where a guy and his wife were hiking near their home in the mountains, and they found some rare for the area mushrooms that they took pictures of, and then took them home and cooked them with their dinner, they even took pictures of them cooking them, placing it into the meal and eating it...I believe just 4 hours later, the cops raided their house and said they had psychotropic mushrooms...
Yet, that kid who committed the schools shooting, posted guns, and rants and talks about shooting up a school, yet nothing was done about it!!!!! The cops said they were unaware... yet they can instantaneously raid a hours for suspected drugs that turns out not to be drugs...
Now all of you think real good and hard about that!!!!! Notice how cops are cowards and run from schools, or never pick up the evidence when it is staring them in the face about shootings, but they can raid you within hours of a post of mushrooms... It seems almost as if they want school shootings to happen so you all will get touchy feelly and emotion about gun control...
This stuff didn't happen when I was growing up, so maybe it is not the guns, every think about that!!!!!
Going to shoot a school up with a BB gun. Yeah, right. I once inadvertently shot a window, in an elementary school across the street from my house, with a BB gun, after school one afternoon. I was about 10 years old. As my bad luck would have it, the teachers were having an after school meeting in that very room that my BB hit the window. Talk about bad luck! Yeah, my parents had to come to school the next day and apologize for my unsafe act and take the BB gun away from me for a while, but that was it. Heck, in today's world, I would be on national news for nothing more than childhood lack of understanding. I would be painted as some kind of domestic terrorist. But since then, I've reached my golden years without ever having shot anyone, or been arrested. I've not even had a moving violation for the last four decades. How my faux pas was handled back then seems to have been successful. I can't hardly believe the school situation that kids have to participate in today.

ReplyDeleteYes
DeleteShoots more than one.bb . that makes it a scary assault gun
