A Potomac High School student charged with bringing a gun to campus is also accused of assaulting a school resource officer, according to Prince George’s County police. Xavier Matthews, 17, of Temple Hills, has been charged with assault and carrying a handgun on school property in connection with the incident that placed the Oxon Hill high school on lockdown Monday morning. Matthews was searched and questioned after a school resource officer was alerted to a trespasser inside the school around 9:30 a.m., police said. A teacher saw Matthews and another boy in a hallway exchanging money, according to police and school officials. The officer later recovered a gun from Matthews during a search, police said.
