Steven Alston Jr. will spend 18 years in prison and five years on probation for shooting his 15-year-old classmate with a ghost gun at Magruder High School.
Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich says he doesn't think having a school resource officer at Magruder High School in January when a teen was shot inside a bathroom would have made a difference.
DeAndre Thomas, 16, is back at Magruder High School. He was shot in a school bathroom with a ghost gun in the abdomen. He required 10 surgeries to recover.
A lawsuit filed on behalf of the family of the teen shot inside a bathroom at Magruder High School accuses Montgomery County leaders of negligence in removing school resources officers during a time of “significantly increased violence.”
The family of 16-year-old DeAndre Thomas partially blames the removal of school resource officers from Montgomery County Public Schools for his shooting injuries.
