In a report by Ed Gallek and Peggy Gallek from Fox 8 News, 19-year-old Laquan Evans is set to appear in Bedford Municipal Court on Tuesday, facing charges stemming from an incident at Bedford High School.
Evans surrendered to authorities on Monday following allegations of assaulting a student by striking them with a gun, resulting in injuries. The incident prompted Bedford City Schools to cancel all after-school activities last Monday. Both the school district and Bedford police confirmed the occurrence, stating that it occurred around 2:40 p.m., coinciding with the start of extracurricular activities.
Evans is now confronting charges of felonious assault and illegal conveyance of a deadly weapon on school grounds. This development underscores the seriousness of the situation and the collaborative efforts between law enforcement and educational institutions to ensure safety within the community.
Fox 8 News acknowledges the confirmation of details provided by Bedford City Schools and Bedford police regarding the incident.
