The student was taken into custody without incident, according to the school district. As of Nov. 15, police have not informed the public how the student got the gun or the charges the minor is facing. Dr. Ted Sutton said, "It's been normalized. We need to change the culture so it doesn't seem normal to see a gun." (CBS Baltimore News)
