Cops: Forest Park mother arrested after pointing gun at students
A Forest Park woman was arrested Monday after pointing a gun at her son’s high school classmates, police said.
Surveillance cameras showed Melika Duggan, 31, pull a Glock 9 mm from her car as she picked up her son from summer school at Forest Park High, authorities said.
A police spokesman said Duggan apparently had interceded in a dispute over money.
Duggan faces five counts each of aggravated assault and reckless conduct and three counts of making terroristic threats, among other offenses.
