For Immediate Release: Wednesday 15 April
“I am pleased that the police were able to make an arrest in the vandalism and related arson at Bradley Hills Elementary School. A 16-year-old male was arrested earlier today.
These incidents have unsettled the community, causing fear and anxiety for families with kids who attend the school, staff members who work there, and neighbors. I appreciate the way our different agencies were able to collaborate to address this threat in our community. And they were able to find the evidence and identify the suspect quickly.
We don’t know what motivated these terrible actions, but we all need to take them seriously. When safety concerns arise about the threats of mass violence, the first call should be to the police through 911 or MCPD’s non-emergency phone number is (301) 279-8000.
I want the community to know that Montgomery County Police in the second district will continue increased patrols in and around the Bradley Hills campus. Thank you to everyone for their continued vigilance and collaborative work.”
