The arrest came one day after the shooting of 15-year-old student at the MARTA bus stop, located near the school's entrance on Bouldercrest and Key roads.
The student's injuries were not life-threatening.
The earlier shooting involved a 19-year-old standing at the same bus stop Friday night. In that incident, Davis said, students alerted officers at a basketball game inside the school that someone outside had a weapon. As officers approached the bus stop, they heard two or three gunshots.
The victim, who is not a McNair student, suffered non-life threatening injuries.
