" this is a wbal tv 11 editorial. >> there were tense moments at the middle school in baltimore county. the eighth grade student pulled a gun on the teachers and classmates. for the second time in three weeks, a county school had an incident with a student. a gun to school. the 13-year-old has been charged as a juvenile. the teacher is being depreciated for her efforts in restraining the student until authorities arrived. we expect teachers to educate our children. to step between a class of students and a loaded gun is beyond the call of duty. they will establish a new office of safety and security and
