  "textContent": "A virtual town hall is scheduled for Wednesday night following two serious gun incidents at St. Charles High School last week.\n\nTwo guns were found on back‑to‑back days, and searches at the students’ homes uncovered even more concerning evidence.\n\nSchool leaders also held a meeting at the high school on Tuesday. FOX 5’s Stephanie Ramirez said that during Tuesday’s meeting, the superintendent of Charles County Public Schools outlined what is being done now at St. Charles and what is planned for the rest of the district. Superintendent Maria Navarro grew emotional as she spoke about the Spartan community.\n\nThe Charles County Sheriff’s Office says that on April 29, a school resource officer recovered a firearm from a student. A search warrant at that student’s home uncovered a 3D printer believed to have created the recovered gun.\n\nThe next day, an automatic handgun was found in a different student’s locker. A search of that student’s bedroom turned up six firearms, ammunition, magazines and other accessories.\n\nSheriff Troy D. Berry previously said the fact that multiple students had access to multiple firearms should stop everyone in their tracks. Both students are 15 years old.\n\nThe superintendent said CCPS is adding additional mental health and administrative support to St. Charles High School. The district is also working on a plan to expand gun‑detection software already used on outdoor cameras to all indoor cameras at the high school.\n\nWednesday night’s virtual school board meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m.",
