State Police Arrest Middletown Teen for Bringing Loaded Firearm to School

Delaware State Police arrested a 14-year-old student at William Penn High School in New Castle yesterday after the student was found in possession of a loaded firearm on school grounds. No students or staff were injured during the incident.

On September 24, 2024, at approximately 7:07 a.m., a School Resource Officer (SRO) received a tip that a student had brought a firearm to school. Acting quickly, the SRO and a school administrator located the student in class. A subsequent search of the student’s backpack revealed a loaded firearm.

The student was immediately taken into custody without incident and transported to Troop 2, where they were charged with the following felony offenses:

  • Possession of a Deadly Weapon by a Person Under 18 (Felony)
  • Carrying a Concealed Deadly Weapon (Felony)
  • Possession of a Firearm in a Safe Recreation Zone (Felony)

The student was arraigned by Justice of the Peace Court 2 and is currently being held at the New Castle County Detention Center on $30,000 cash bail.
