“It’s also an open campus, so it’s a lot harder to control who comes in and who comes out. We do the best that we can,” said one student.
Smith is now charged with possession of a stolen weapon, possession of a pistol by a minor, and carrying weapons in a school safety zone. He was booked into the Cobb County Jail.
