during a physical altercation at the school in January, pursued him as he was crawling down the hallway and pointed the gun at his head, according to testimony Monday.
Mobile County District Judge Spiro Cheriogotis determined prosecutors have sufficient evidence to send two counts of first-degree assault and shooting into an occupied building to a grand jury for possible indictment. He also denied a defense request to reduce the $180,000 bail amount. Mobile County District Attorney Keith Blackwood told reporters that he will not tolerate guns in schools.
Hernandez grilled the victim about his actions leading up to the shooting. He took the Fifth when asked about hitting the victim. He denied sending the defendant a threatening text message to the defendant.“But it sure sounds like that’s exactly where we are headed because of the testimony from today,” she said.
Mobile County Public School System spokeswoman disputed that. She said the schools taking bullying and violence seriously. She said there is an anonymous reporting system and that the schools have counselors to encourage students to resolve conflicts. She said the schools also have a procedure to alert law enforcement to serious incidents.Blackwood said he believes the school does take bullying and violence seriously and that it would be irrelevant to the charges anyway.
