In our last segment we told you about a violent incident at Gwen Lizaragga high school.  Well there is another concerning case coming from a high school is at Maude Williams High where a 14 year old second former has told police he needs to carry a gun for protection not in school, but on the streets. 

It all came to light yesterday afternoon when classes were dismissed at 3:50. Precinct two Police got information that a student was carrying a weapon and responded quickly.  They found the student about to get into a van.  A constable searched his school bag and in the small front Pocket he found a Black CZ nine millimeter pistol brand  with an empty clip.  The serial number had been filed off and he had no license for the weapon.

The teenager was then placed under arrest for carrying an unlicensed firearm.  He told the police that he receives threats on his way home.  He was with two other students – who are both from the same neighborhood – which is across the bridge, meaning the youths have to cross multiple gang territories when they walk home.  That is why, we understand, they are dropped to and from school on most days.
