Bobby gladden trial

When he arrived at school, Gladden went to his first two classes, Johnson said. On the way to the cafeteria, he stashed the bag with the shotgun in a restroom, the chief said. A short time later, he returned to the restroom and assembled the gun, which he then hid beneath his clothes, Johnson said.

Upon entering the cafeteria, he pulled out the gun and fired a shot toward a lunch table, according to charging documents.

A year-old classmate, Daniel Borowy, was struck in the back. Gladden's father told The Associated Press that his son had been bullied. Baltimore County Police Chief James Johnson said at a news conference Tuesday that he was aware of the reported bullying, but he said Gladden has not indicated in conversations with detectives that bullying was a motive for the shooting. He did not disclose other possible motives. Gladden's last status update on his Facebook page, posted the morning of the shooting, read: "First day of school, last day of my life.

Problems continued between fifth grade and ninth grade, during which Gladden was suspended at least nine times, usually for attacking other students, the judge said. While suicides and death in his family and his parents' divorce likely contributed to his problems, Gladden made his own decision to react with violence, Cahill said.

While medication may be currently improving Gladden's behavior, there is no guarantee that it would remain effective in the long term, the judge said. Gladden's problems, or ensure public safety," he said. Cahill criticized the defense for claiming that Gladden would be raped or murdered in an adult detention center. Cahill repeatedly referenced phone conversations from the detention center between Gladden and family members.

During calls, Gladden also complained about treatment workers, family members, his attorney, media coverage of the shooting and at one point said, "No one can get through to me," according to the judge. One who says he was bullied and wants treatment, but that is not the one who is shown in phone conversations," he said.
