So much for releasing a minor into the custody of their parents.
Hours after a 12-year-old, unidentified female in Houston was sent home from school after allegedly pointing a gun at teachers, she returned to campus. This time, she pointed a gun at three teachers and a maintenance worker in the Dean Middle School gymnasium. Harris County Police intervened at gunpoint and apprehended the girl.
The Harris County Sheriff’s Department said the girl now could be charged as an adult. She faces two counts of assault with a deadly weapon.
Earlier that day, Sept. 28, the girl was sent to the principal’s office for starting a fight and threatening to kill a teacher and students. The girl wasn’t deterred by a school suspension. The sheriff’s department was ready to charge her but the district attorney for Harris County declined.
"At that point, charges were refused on the basis of “no imminent threat," said Chief Larry Shiflet with the Harris County Precinct 4 Constable's Office.
No students were injured but plenty frightened during the lockdown. "She just pulls out the gun. Everybody -- they just started screaming, 'Lock down, lock down, lock down,'" a student at the school said.
