How could this have happened? After all, this was illegal! Surely, surely! gun control laws should have prevented it!
Well, it’s Montgomery County, not Philadelphia, so the George Soros-sponsored, police-hating, ‘progressive’ District Attorney, Let ’em loose Larry Krasner, won’t have anything to do with it.
Abington-Cheltenham football game suspended after student found with a gun
The Cheltenham High School student was arrested on felony weapons offenses, including possession of a firearm, police said. Players were safely dismissed to the Abington High School locker rooms.

Friday night’s football game between Montgomery County rivals Abington and Cheltenham High Schools was suspended at halftime when a parent noticed a student with a gun in the stadium, police said.
When police found the student at Abington High School’s stadium shortly before 8:30 p.m., a handgun with an extended magazine was protruding from his waist area and the youth was in possession of a second, loaded magazine, police said in a statement posted on Facebook.
The juvenile, whose identity was not released other than to describe him as a Cheltenham High School student, was arrested on felony weapons offenses, including possession of a firearm, and taken to the Montgomery County Youth Center in Eagleville, police said.
No shots were fired and no injuries were reported. The football game was suspended “out of an abundance of caution and for the safety of the students and spectators,” police said.
There’s a bit more at the original.
A juvenile, armed with a handgun, probably a semi-automatic, with an extended magazine, plus another fully loaded magazine, all in a gun-free school zone. Tsk, tsk!
Very diplomatically handled. Cheltenham is apparently at the fringe of Philadelphia and is probably subject to all the problems of that city. Abington appears to be further out in the surround. Both rated wikipedia pages.
I would have wondered about the race/ethnicity of the adults who blew the whistle on this gunman. They probably saved a number of lives. “Loyalty” and “identity” are strange beasts.
