Violence plagues our schools as a teen gunman, known as “Baby K,” is finally brought to justice by U.S. Marshals in a concerning case of gang-related violence on a Maryland school bus. It is time for the authorities to tackle the pressing issue of crime and violence by young individuals and invest every effort to create a safer environment for our children.

Last Tuesday, after being on the lam for a month, a 15-year-old boy known as “Baby K” was arrested for attempted murder – a heinous crime he committed on May 1 when he and two other boys attacked a student on a school bus. This incident took place in the Prince George’s County suburb near Washington, D.C. The attack was purportedly gang-related with images from the school bus surveillance video capturing the attack.

Additionally, swift justice and harsh penalties are necessary to serve as a deterrent to others who may consider embarking on such a life of crime.

In conclusion, the recent arrest of a 15-year-old charged with attempted murder and connected to another homicide serves as a glaring reminder that our communities are plagued by youth violence. It is now up to the law enforcement agencies and the wider society to
