Clare Hall Secondary School
EXCLUSIVE ON ANTIGUA.NEWS
Currently, the police are questioning about eight students from the Clare Hall Secondary School following an alarming incident where a 14-year-old boy was found with a firearm on the school premises.
The school had to be closed down in response to this concerning event.
It has been reported to Antigua.news by reliable sources that the teenager who allegedly brought the firearm to school is related to a member of the Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda.
Antigua.news was also reliably informed that the teen’s brother is a police officer, including other members of his family.
This revelation has caused widespread fear and unease among both parents and students.
Education Minister Daryll Matthew has expressed his shock and disappointment regarding the situation.
The authorities are actively conducting investigations into this matter.
Is this some kind of sick joke? So he took his borthers gun then? Antigua.news thanks for keeping us informed. This is madness if you ask me
Don’t blame the officer because a family member took somthing that they shouldn’t touched, the blame and consequences should be on the individual that commit the act.
When a civilian owns a licensed firearm, they are told to keep it in a locked safe! Why would any member of the Police Force be so careless? He should be summarily disciplined!!!
This just doesnt make any sense. What is happening to our children. Where the hell he got a gun from?
Clearly the A&B police force needs to be cleaned up. Police daughter responsible for teen death, another one bringing guns to school and an officer had a bench warrant issued on him. Must we continue?
These children are playing with fire. Hope they don’t get burnt. Now parents should be very concerned even sending their children to school. What he have with bringing guns to school?
Any other parent or relative would be held responsible and prosecuted accordingly..I see no reason why this protocol should not be allowed in this case. There is a widespread belief that there are many criminal elements in the Police Force hiding behind the protection of a uniform. These criminals need to be weeded out and given lengthy jail sentences served alongside their kind at 1735. Our citizens are more afraid of these men and women in black than they are of the condemned criminals among us!
Annoyed, you are talking foolishness. If you are a firearm holder, 100% of the responsibility falls on YOU to properly secure your weapon… If you do not have it on your person, it should be secured in a safe. Anybody who is issued a firearm’s license is ordered to buy a proper safe to store the weapon when not in use… If his weapon was stored away properly, then we would not be having this discussion… You can’t just leave a weapon where children have open access to it… Come on…
I WHOLEHEARTEDLY CONCUR!!!
Carelessness. How can a child just take his brother cousin aunty nephew gun if it is secured? The adult should be jailed. Lisence revoked. Fired from the police force.
100%
The owner of the gun and the student both should be punished. The is old enough to know not to touch the gun, and the owner of the gun(s) knows that he or she should secure the gun properly. When you apply for a gun through the A&B Police Force, the same officers give you a long list of procedures how to secure your weapon especially at home. Are you telling me that those precaution don’t apply to police officers too? Once the police has the said gun in custody, from the serial number on the gun, they should know who the gun belongs too. I hope it’s not an unlicensed firearm. These schools have too much gangs and they love to bullying other students to join the gangs. If he was been bullied he should report it instead taking matters in his own hands by bringing a gun to school.
