County officials said they will reevaluate security measures at school sports events in the wake of the shooting, but Annapolis High principal Donald Lilley cautioned against overreacting. The girl was shot at about 8:30 p.m. Friday during a game between Annapolis and Old Mill high schools. Police arrested a 17-year-old boy shortly after the shooting, and a gun was found near where he was caught on the grounds of Annapolis High. The teenager accidentally pulled the trigger of the gun, which he had hidden in his clothing, police said. He is not a student at Annapolis or Old Mill. A second suspect taken into custody was released after it was determined he was not involved in the incident. The victim, whom police did not identify, was treated at the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center and released. The football game was canceled after the shooting. Officers evacuated the stadium complex and school grounds without incident, officials said. The shooting came two weeks after two people were killed in attacks associated with football games in Montgomery County. Annapolis High principal Donald Lilley said the shooting was the first gun-related incident at the school since he took over as principal in March 2004. Lilley said he didn't believe more stringent security measures -- such as pat-downs of spectators entering sports venues -- would be helpful. Such measures could be viewed by some as provocative, and someone who is determined to bring in a weapon still could do so. "I think you're asking for more problems when you start doing things like that," he said. Four uniformed Anne Arundel police officers provided security at the game, Lilley said. In addition, Lilley, three assistant principals, the athletic directors from both schools and his school's assistant athletic director also were at the game and were helping keep order. Some school officials and police officers were within 10 feet of the shooting when it occurred, Lilley said. The suspect, from Glen Burnie, was charged as a juvenile with reckless endangerment, possession of a deadly weapon on school property and concealing a deadly weapon. He was released to his parents, police said. Stay with News4 and nbc4.com for complete coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
