  "textContent": "A 19-year-old Silver Spring man was arrested on Thursday and charged after a fight in a high school parking lot ended with a teen student being shot.\n\n## 19-year-old charged for Blake High School fight, shooting\n\nDjibia Gombo was arrested and charged with assault on Thursday, Montgomery County Police announced.\n\nThe fight and shooting happened on Wednesday, April 29, in the Blake High School student parking lot. Just before 11:30 a.m., officers and school security were called to the parking lot after reports of a large fight.\n\n**PREVIOUS COVERAGE:** 'Unwelcome, uninvited adult' on Blake HS campus leads to fight, shooting: 1 detained\n\nThe officers got there, broke up the fight, and detained Gombo. They also recovered a gun, which police said was dropped during the fight.\n\nLater, police found out that a 17-year-old boy was taken to a local hospital with a gunshot wound. Investigators said they believe the teen was shot during the fight at the school.\n\nInvestigators are still working to figure out exactly how the shooting happened. As of Thursday, officials said they believe the gun went off during the fight.\n\nFollowing the shooting on Wednesday, Montgomery County Public Schools Superintendent Thomas Taylor said that the fight broke out because of an \"unwelcome, uninvited\" adult coming onto campus, but it's not clear if Gombo is believed to be that adult.\n\nGombo is awaiting a bond hearing Thursday, and is being held at Montgomery County Central Processing. Investigators said that more charges could be coming.\n\nOfficers asked anyone with information about the shooting to contact the department at 240-773-5500.",
