MARLBORO COUNTY, S.C. (WBTW) — A student is in custody after he brought a gun to school on Tuesday.
According to Marlboro County Schools Superintendent Dr. Gregory McCord, a 15-year-old student brought the gun to Marlboro County High School. A parent saw a social media post that she thought was inappropriate and reported it to the school resource officer.
