Four guns, to be precise. And a lot of ammo and knives.

18-year-old Austin Martin, of Middlesex County, Virginia, was charged with possessing firearms on school property and released on a $1,500 (£955) bail.

Middlesex County Sheriff’s Office found four loaded firearms, several knives and over 600 rounds of ammunition in Martin’s vehicle.

Martin, who attends Middlesex County High School, was reportedly cooperative throughout the whole incident, suggesting he meant no harm to his fellow students.


Speaking to ABC, a friend of Martin’s said, ‘He was going to his dad’s to do target shooting after he got out of school and he just made a mistake.’

In light of the arrest, it might be best to keep the guns and ammo at dad’s from now on.
