Police have released the mug shot of Ryan M. Fitch. According to Philadelphia Police: “At approximately 11:58 a.m., inside Community College of Philadelphia, located at 1700 Spring Garden Street, Fitch allegedly was involved in a verbal disagreement with another student over a female. Fitch allegedly displayed a gun in a threatening manner towards this male. Ryan Fitch was arrested at his home and charged with: Weapon in School, Terroristic Threats, Simple Assault, and Recklessly Endangering another Person.”
Classes resume Thursday at Community.
Action News reports the school went on lockdown after the students reported the alleged incident in the chemistry class. "I was scared because I've never been through a situation like this before so I didn't know what was going to happen," student David Fowler told the station.
Channel 6 also caught up with the suspect's mother, who says it was a misunderstanding, and that her son felt disrespected during a dispute. The facts in this case aren't completely clear yet, but "being disrespected" would seem to be a bad reason to pull a gun on someone in front of a bunch of witnesses.
