PRESS RELEASE – On Tuesday morning, The Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office was alerted by the Administration at Little Mill Middle School that a student possibly had a gun on campus.
Administration had been alerted by a fellow student who reported the incident.
The 14-year-old student was removed from class and searched by a School Resource Officer.
A loaded 9mm pistol was located in the student’s waistband.
The student has been arrested and is being transported to the Regional Youth Detention Center. No one at the school was injured and the school is secure.

One or more SRO’s are assigned to every school campus in partnership with our FCSS,” said Sheriff Ron Freeman
