(Ambridge, PA) On Wednesday, a boy who is thirteen years old is being charged after bringing a gun to Ambridge Area Middle School. According to Beaver County District Attorney Nate Bible, the teen suspect was arrested, his gun was both secured and locked in preparation, and that the gun was owned by the parents of the boy. Another student was also threatened by the suspect, and after that occurred, that student let school officials know what just happened. Parents of students from the school also received a letter noting that the incident was so serious that it involved the presence of police. A Facebook post from Ambridge Area Middle School from Wednesday states that not only will the place close on Thursday but also will operate on a day of flexible instruction and will open back up on Friday.
