A student brought a gun to the Community College of Philadelphia yesterday, leading to a shutdown of the main campus and lockdowns at two nearby schools, police said. No one was hurt, and it was not considered an active-shooter situation, said Lieutenant John Stanford, a police spokesman.Rico says, okay, some people should not have gubs (and this guy was certainly old enough to know better, and will now deservedly lose his permit as a result)...
Police arrested Ryan Fitch, 23, of Torresdale, Pennsylvania, who later was charged with terroristic threats, simple assault, reckless endangerment, and related offenses. A police source said that Fitch did have a permit to carry a gun.
Stanford gave this account:Just before noon, police received a call about a person with a gun at the college, and college security officers told them of "some type of disturbance."CCP's main campus was closed because of the evacuation and was to reopen today, according to notices posted on several campus buildings. Two nearby schools, Benjamin Franklin High School and Julia R. Masterman School, were placed on lockdown as well, authorities said.
The man showed a gun and made "somewhat of a threat" toward another student during an argument. CCP prohibits anyone from having a gun on campus. The argument, apparently over a woman, took place in a chemistry lab in the West Building at 17th and Spring Garden streets.
The student left the building and contacted his parents. But, because police were not aware he had left, a SWAT team evacuated the building.
