Two teenagers were arrested after police say one of them pointed a gun at another student during a fight at a Delaware high school.
Joan Ayon, 17, and Luis Alvarado, 15, both of Newark, Delaware, went to John Dickinson High School on the 1800 block of Milltown Road in Wilmington to confront an 18-year-old student back on Oct. 29, investigators said.
Ayon allegedly punched the 18-year-old in the face and the two began to fight and fall to the ground. As the 18-year-old began to stand up, Alvarado allegedly gave Ayon a handgun. Ayon then pointed it at the 18-year-old, officials said.
A bystander then pulled the 18-year-old away from Ayon while the 18-year-old’s father, who was there at the time, stood between his son and Ayon. Ayon and Alvarado then fled the school in a pickup truck, police said.
After conducting several interviews, investigators identified Ayon and Alvarado as the suspects. Both teens were arrested on Oct. 30 without incident. They were both charged with reckless endangerment, possession of a deadly weapon and other related offenses.
Both teens were arraigned at the New Castle County Family Court. Alvarado was released on $18,000 unsecured bail while Ayon was released on $19,250 bail.
