New Milford Police have released more information about the so-called ghost gun found in a car outside the High School the same day there was a fight in a bathroom. Information obtained by Hearst Connecticut Media through a Freedom of Information Act request details a timeline of the incidents April 26th, which prompted a lockdown. A parent called Police saying a student had a gun in his backpack. The 17-year-old was located and searched.
The black P80 polymer frame firearm with a Live Free Armory slide/barrel was found under the teen's driver’s seat, not in a holster or secured in any way. There was no identifiable serial number and 10 9mm caliber rounds in the magazine. Police secured the gun and then learned about a fight between the teen and two others this morning.
The fight allegedly stemmed from an incident days earlier when a 19-year-old allegedly pointed a gun at someone in a car outside the school. The older teen allegedly approached a student in the bathroom asking why the other student was telling people. According to the report, the student who was punched told police another physical altercation broke out near a staircase and the fight was broken up by an administrator.
