Two Students Face Charges for Gun, Ammo at Snellville Middle School

Multiple incidents involving firearms on school campuses have raised concerns about student safety. At Snellville Middle School in Georgia, two students were charged after a gun and ammunition were found in their backpacks, though officials noted there were no threats or displays of the weapon. The district responded by announcing plans to install weapons detection units in all middle and high schools and emphasized ongoing improvements to security protocols. In Florida, Miramar High School experienced two consecutive days where firearms were discovered on campus—one loaded and one unloaded—prompting investigations and highlighting the role of security systems and vigilant reporting by students and staff. Separately, at Chaney High School in Ohio, a gun was found in a student's vehicle in the school parking lot following a tip, but it never entered the building. These incidents underscore the importance of comprehensive safety measures, community vigilance, and continued investment in school security technologies.
