Teen Siblings Brought Gun, Box Of Ammo To DeKalb County High School

DEKALB COUNTY, GA — Two teenage siblings have been arrested for bringing a loaded gun and a box of bullets to Stephenson High School, reported WSB-TV.

Last month, school officials told the station that another student tipped them about the gun, which allowed them to prevent anything from happening. Their names haven’t been released because they are minors.

The siblings have been charged with possession of a weapon in a school safety zone and were transported to juvenile intake, reported WSB.

This isn’t the first safety concern. In 2019, a 15-year-old freshman was arrested and charged with murder in the death of 18-year-old Phildarious Parrish, a senior at the time, reported WXIA-TV.

According to the Atlanta-Journal Constitution, more than two dozen children and teenagers in metro Atlanta were among those killed or injured by gunfire in 2021 due to violent crimes.
