This comes on the heels of over 1,000 MCPS students walking out of school this past Wednesday to attend a gun control rally on Capitol Hill.
The event is limited to high school students in Montgomery County and will take place at the Blair High School auditorium.
Blair led 30-24 at the half in a back and forth game, but found themselves trailing by 3 with 12.5 seconds left In the game.
Trailing 53-56, the Blazers missed a three with 6 seconds left, got an offensive rebound, and drained one from long range with .8 seconds left. They went on to win in OT, 66-62.
The arrests were in connection with a shooting in Montgomery Village that killed Wassi Harron Raheem Young, 20, of Hyattsville. He was shot in the afternoon of Feb. 10 in the 8500 block of Hawk Run Terrace and died in the parking lot. Young is still awaiting trial for that case.
Yesterday, the 18 year old Young was sentenced to 24 years in prison for his role in a different crime. According to prosecutors, Young and another man, Timario Gregg, targeted students from Watkins Mill High School in Montgomery Village as they walked back to school from their lunch break. They robbed the students of their cell phones, shoes, and jackets at gun point. Gregg was sentenced to 30 years in prison.
