Introduction: Sheriff’s Office

A Joppatown high school student
was arrested after a 16-year-old boy
opened fire on a home near the school

and was shot by a classmate Friday,
Harford County Sheriff Jeff Koehler said.
The sheriff identified the

dead student as Warren Curtis
Grant, 15, of Edgewood.
“It’s a sad day, the

fourth day of the school
year,” Koehler said at a
news conference.

What happened

The sheriff said the calls came
in around 12:36 p.m. Friday for
active enrollment conditions.

The sheriff said the incident did
not appear to be a shooting. Sky
Team 11 reported at 12:45 p.m. That

the school is being evacuated.
A 16-year-old boy shot and killed a
15-year-old classmate in a bathroom

Friday on his first day at Joppatown
High School, the sheriff said. Koehler
said it was probably

just a gunshot wound.
The victim was treated
by school nurses and taken

to a hospital, Koehler said.
“Our hearts go out to the victim
and his family, the circumstances

are absolutely horrific and this
should not be happening in
schools,” Harford County Public

Schools Superintendent
Sean Bulson said.

A 16-year-old girl was arrested

The sheriff said the 16-year-old
ran away from the school and
was arrested minutes later at a

nearby apartment complex, but
the gun has not
yet been found. Video

from SkyTeam
11 shows police
detaining a man on Riley Court.

The teenager has been
charged as an adult, and the
motive is unknown, the sheriff said.

Major disaster relief

The sheriff said the school’s
principal and staff
responded immediately

after hearing the noise.
“The system worked and
it worked in this case, and

the sad thing is that
we’re talking about a
school shooting,” Koehler said.

The first foreign
officers arrived at
the school within two

minutes, and more than
100 officers from Baltimore
County, the Maryland

Department of
Transportation, local
police officers and the

Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco and Firearms
arrived within 15

minutes, the sheriff
said came to
