NEW CASTLE — Delaware State Police arrested a 16-year-old male from Wilmington for reckless endangering and related charges following a shot fired at William Penn High School last week, Senior Cpl. Jason Hatchell said.
On Tuesday at approximately 11:40 a.m., troopers responded to the school for a report of a shot fired. There were no injuries identified.
The juvenile, who is a William Penn student, was identified as a suspect and taken into custody without incident at a Wilmington residence Sunday, Cpl. Hatchell said.
He was charged with possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, possession of a deadly weapon or ammunition by a person under age 21 (two counts), first-degree reckless endangering, aggravated menacing and possession of a weapon in a safe-school zone.
Following arraignment in Justice of the Peace Court 11, the juvenile was committed to the New Castle County Detention Center, Wilmington, on a $98,000 cash bond.
