A man acting strangely entered a Maryland elementary school Friday afternoon prompting an active shooter 911 call. Prince George’s County Bureau Chief Tracee Wilkins reports a staff member saw something that looked like a gun, but no gun has been found.
A man accused of entering a Maryland elementary school and making threatening statements to a staff member is facing multiple charges.
The Prince George's County Police Department on Saturday identified the suspect as 35-year-old Ricard Campbell. Court records show charges against the Upper Marlboro resident include robbery and disorderly conduct.
Officers searched Patuxent Elementary School Friday after receiving a call of an active shooter. They determined no shots had been fired and escorted children and adults who were in an after-school care program.
Police later arrested Campbell. They determined he had a grill lighter that a school staff member had "perceived" as a possible weapon.
Police say Campbell robbed someone at the school of a piece of jewelry.
Court records do not list an attorney who could comment on Campbell's behalf.
