Meridian Public School District on Monday announced a second suspect has been arrested in connection with an Oct. 29 shooting near Meridian High School.
Brandarious McShan, 17, was arrested Friday and charged with aggravated assault and possession of a deadly weapon on educational property.
“I would like to thank Homeland Security and the Lauderdale County Sheriff’s Department for their assistance in making sure there was a quick resolution to the situation,” said Cornelius Parks, MPSD Chief of Campus Police in a news release announcing the arrest.
McShan is being held in the Lauderdale County Detention Facility on a $2 million bond.
MPSD Superintendent Amy Carter said she wants to thank MPSD Campus Police for their efforts following the shooting last week.
“I want to thank the MPSD Campus Police for the swift apprehension of the suspect,” she said. “Their tireless work shows our commitment to make sure our students and staff are in safe learning environments, which remains our top priority.”
No one was injured in the shooting, which took place early Tuesday morning, and one person was taken into custody shortly afterward. The identity of that suspect has not been released.
