Three Hempfield High School students charged with possessing guns on school property will appear in court later this month.
The Trib reports that the three will be prosecuted in juvenile court and will have adjudication hearings on October 26th before Westmoreland County Judge Michele Bononi. The three students, ages 16 and 15, were charged with felony gun counts s well as receiving stolen property and causing or risking catastrophe, and several misdemeanors.
The cases stem from an Oct. 2 incident in which school officials and police claim three male students passed two loaded handguns on a school bus and in a bathroom at Hempfield Area High School. Police said both firearms were stolen.
