A Cobb County high school student is facing a number of felony charges after school police say they found two guns in her backpack.
The incident happened at Pebblebrook High School in Mableton. According to court documents, a student told police she saw a gun in the student’s backpack and alerted the property authorities.
A Cobb County School District spokesperson released a statement that read,
“Although student privacy laws do not allow us to share individual student discipline details, both District policy, and the law, were strongly applied. To protect students and staff, our District has heavily invested in Cobb Shield, a network of over 13 safety supports which includes 80 well-trained police officers and a crisis response system which is used by every staff member. Our message to families is simple: police officers across the District, and the investments we have made into our schools keep students as safe as possible. We appreciate, and need, law enforcement and community partners who support teachers as they teach in difficult conditions, daily.”
