Students and staff at Discovery Middle School are grappling with the death of a ninth grade student who was shot on the campus.
A weekend of prayer groups, counseling and a town meeting were planned to deal with the grief after 14-year-old Todd Brown was shot Friday afternoon.
Police said another ninth-grader, also 14, was arrested by a school officer and taken into custody. He was charged with murder after Brown was pronounced dead at a hospital Friday night.
The suspect is being held in a juvenile detention center and his name was not immediately released.
Students huddled and hid in darkened rooms after the shooting during a class change, fearing more bloodshed. But the suspect reportedly went to a bathroom, where he was arrested without incident.
