WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — A 19-year-old accused of trespassing and bringing a gun to an elementary school in Palm Beach County, causing it to go on code red lock-down, faced a judge Wednesday morning.
Richemond Seraphin told police he had walked over to Starlight Cove Elementary School to pick up his sick, younger sister on May 8 at around 2 p.m.
Police said Seraphin was seen in security video climbing over the fence of the school, falling and running away.
People near the campus said they heard a gunshot at around that same time.
They later found Seraphin at home with a gunshot wound to his groin.
He’s facing charges of trespassing and having a weapon on school grounds, and disrupting school operations while armed.
Seraphin is being held on a $30,000 bond.
