Drove past there during lunch, wondered what was going on.
"The student, whose name was not released, will be arraigned in Juvenile Court in Lowell on charges of assault with a dangerous weapon, possession of a pellet gun and disturbing a school assembly.
No injuries were reported, and no shots were fired, according to the District Attorney's Office."
This has me confused, is just carrying a BB gun in Ma "assault with a dangerous weapon"?

Public schools would be a good start.
Assault != Assault & Battery. If he'd fired at someone and hit them, A&B. If he just scared them with it, assault.
Westford cops don't mess around!
I remember when i was in high school, buddies got pulled over and guns drawn on them because some one called in that they had a weapon (it was a supersoaker). They yelled "Get your hands up, or we'll ventilate you!!!!"![[laugh]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/012.gif "Laugh [laugh]")

Yea you know. Any Student that believe's in the Second Amendment is a unwanted student.
scaring people is assault ?
So he's facing a few hundred counts of assault with a 'deadly' weapon? "Unwanted" is really ambiguous terminology, it was lunch, anyone could have been walking through the halls..
His defense should be; Your honor I was not in possession of a deadly weapon, [whips out a .45] this is a deadly weapon.
Putting people in fear of being attacked is assault http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/_/dict.aspx?word=assault
Actually attacking them is A and B. I'm sure that it is actually a bit more complicated than that, the law being what it is...

"Unwanted" is referring to the fact that the kid was suspended the previous week. Crappy term for it IMHO.
So...sounds like the kid had other issues BEFORE this little boo-boo.
Here is a photo of the "gun" he brought to school.

I can understand why people might be afraid. Look at it from the principals point of view. Trouble maker kid out on suspension is walking the halls with what looks like a gun. It's grounds for worry.
Now whether what he did was assault that really depends on how people reacted to him. I would think the principal was afraid, if not for himself then for his students.
