MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The stepbrother of a Fairley High Student was arrested after he showed up at the school Tuesday afternoon with a gun and attacked a teenage girl, police say.
Randy Gordon, 22, was booked in the Shelby County Jail for assault and carrying a weapon on school property.
According to a school officer, Gordon saw his stepsister fighting with two girls, got out of his vehicle, and punched one of the girls multiple times in the face with a closed fist.
Another school officer said she yelled that Gordon had a gun, and Gordon ran back toward his Jeep, pulled a black gun from inside his pants, and placed it under the passenger seat of the vehicle.
Gordon was detained and escorted inside the school when he began punching the same student in the face again.
Police said a 9mm handgun with a live round in the chamber was seized from Gordon’s vehicle.
The students involved in the fight were treated on the scene by paramedics, and the Department of Children’s Services was notified about the incident.
So far, Memphis Shelby County Schools has not commented on the fight or the arrest.
