Staff member at Pasco's Gulf High School helped students hide guns, police say

The minors purchased the guns illegally, New Port Richey police said.

A Gulf High School staff member was arrested Wednesday after she helped students hide guns that they had bought illegally, according to the New Port Richey Police Department.

Police say a student at the high school contacted disciplinary aide Emily Medina, 20, after shots were fired on Monday near Van Buren and Main streets. According to arrest reports, the minors who shot the guns purchased them illegally off the street.

The student gave Medina a backpack with a Glock 43 handgun, a Taurus 9mm handgun and ammunition, the arrest report states.

“Emily took the firearms, which she knew or should have known were not to be possessed by the juvenile and hid them in her residence,” the arrest report states. “Emily admitted she did not call police or report the incident to the school, clearly intending to conceal the weapons that were evidence in an illegal sale.”

Is the "gun" some kind of God demanding illegal and immoral and just plain dumb decisions, choices, and behavior?

Was she intending to return the guns to the student, which would certainly be 'contributing to the delinquency', or was she merely taking the guns (to later destroy or anonymously turn into police), so that the student wouldnt get into trouble?
