Stranger arrested for misbehaving in front of youth at school1.HOLBROOK, Mass. -- As the nation recovers from three, recent shootings at academic institutions, a security scare for students occurred right here in the Bay State after a suspicious teen was found wandering the halls of an elementary school in Holbrook.Police arrested Troy Guppy, 18, of Holbrook, who four days earlier showed up at South School and proceeded to talk for 15 minutes to a sixth grade class about aliens. He also allegedly visited a fourth grade classroom that day as well. Guppy, a former student at the school who now says he is in the Air Force, claimed that a sixth grade teacher had asked him to come visit the school. However, that instructor said her invitation had been very informal, and she'd never received any notice from Guppy before he showed up to school that day.
This incident comes as the nation mourns the loss of student life in a trio of deadly school shootings across America. A gunman killed five Amish students in Pennsylvania on Monday while school shootings occurred in Wisconsin and Colorado only one week earlier.2.
