Maryland: Press Release: Student Discharges Firearm Inside Elementary School Classroom; No Injuries Reported

On April 9 at approximately 10:24 a.m., a 9-year-old student at Billingsley Elementary School was retrieving a piece of paper from their backpack when they inadvertently discharged a loaded firearm that was in their backpack. The student was seated at a desk, and the backpack was in between their legs. The projectile was directed toward the ground, and no one was injured.

The classroom teacher and a nearby school resource officer (SRO) responded immediately and took swift action to ensure the safety of all students. The firearm, a .357 caliber revolver, was safely recovered by the SRO.

A preliminary investigation suggests the firearm may belong to a relative visiting the student’s family. Officers are actively investigating the circumstances surrounding how the student came into possession of the weapon and why it was in their backpack.

Upon completion of the investigation, the case will be presented to the Charles County State’s Attorney’s Office for review.

“We are incredibly thankful and fortunate that no one was injured during today’s incident,” said Sheriff Troy D. Berry. “I want to take this moment to urge all parents and guardians to have a conversation with their students about the very real dangers of handling or bringing any type of weapon to school. These conversations matter. This incident provides an opportunity to reflect on and reinforce the importance of safety and responsibility.”

Cpl. J. Brown is investigating.
