The seizures stemmed from incidents on Wednesday and Thursday, when firearms were found at St. Charles High School in Waldorf.

Sheriff’s deputies searched the homes of two students they believed were responsible for bringing the firearms to the school.

At one home, deputies found a 3D printer they believe was used in the production of a polymer-style firearm recovered by a school resource officer at the high school on Wednesday. The printer was seized as evidence.

On Thursday, a fully automatic handgun was recovered from a different student’s locker. Deputies then obtained a search warrant and found six additional firearms that were “unsecured,” as well as ammunition, magazines and various “firearm accessories” at the home of the student.

The ammunition and four of the firearms were located inside of the student’s bedroom, according to the sheriff’s office.

The case is going to be sent to the State鈥檚 Attorney鈥檚 Office for review to determine the appropriate charges.

Anyone with information on the cases or who has knowledge of any weapons in schools is asked to contact the Charles County Crime Solvers by calling 1-866-411-TIPS. Residents can also submit tips online at www.charlescountycrimesolvers.com or by using the P3Intel mobile app.

The school year must end by June 19, 2027, a date set by the Maryland State Board of Education after the district was approved earlier this year for new scheduling guidelines.

Changes being considered by the district for the next school year include:

• Starting the school year earlier in August
• Identifying religious holidays that can be used as inclement weather makeup days
• Shortening either the winter or spring break

Before the matter is decided, MCPS officials are asking for the community to .

Mapping out makeup days has proved to be a continuous issue for the county during the 2025-2026 school year after snowstorms prompted closures. In fact, efforts to use Eid al-Fitr as a makeup day drew backlash and forced the district to ultimately revert its decision.

The current school year was extended to June 26 before an MSBE waiver allowed officials to trim a few days and shift requirements to allow the system to instead meet a number of school hours.

Whereas the county previously was required to have 180 instructional days, it was allowed to meet a minimum of 1,080 hours of instruction for elementary and middle school students and 1,170 hours for high school students.

The school board is expected to finalize a decision for the 2026-2027 year at its April 30 meeting.

A WMATA spokesperson told 小萝莉影视 that Metro Transit Police made four arrests at the Waterfront Metro Station, detailing three people were taken into custody for disorderly affray. The fourth individual was arrested for disorderly conduct, assaulting a police officer and unlawful entry.

The ages of the individuals, described as minors, were not provided.

It’s also unclear whether the arrestees were released to their parent and/or guardian.

The arrests stem from what is being referred to as “teen takeovers” that have been happening across the District. The incidents typically involve large gatherings of young people, and have a history of underage drinking and rowdy behavior.

The latest incident聽broke out Saturday while the city was operating under its latest round of youth curfews, which were implemented earlier this year in an effort to discourage “takeovers.”

Emergency legislation that allowed the District to issue a citywide curfew 鈥� and grant the opportunity to tack on additional curfews 鈥� is set to expire Wednesday. The latest youth curfew zone runs from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m.

The Saturday arrests, however, aren’t the first to see teens taken into custody during a curfew this month.

On April 4, eight teens were arrested just outside the Navy Yard curfew zone as the city was hosting a “Teen Spring Jam” at the King-Greenleaf Recreation Center. Their ages ranged from 12 to 17 years old.

The arrests came after multiple fights broke out near a that was being hosted by the D.C. Department of Parks and Recreation that weekend at the King-Greenleaf Recreation Center.

A second “Teen Spring Jam” is in session this weekend, April 12, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the Randall Recreation Center.
