N.J. Student Hides Gunshot Wound, Goes To School

[ThomasAguanis]

ASBURY PARK , N.J. -- If there was ever a valid reason to stay home from school, this was it.

Police said an 18-year-old showed up for class at Asbury Park High School and tried to conceal that he'd been shot.

A staff member at the school noticed the wound on the student's leg and called police Wednesday morning.

Police said the student, whose name has not been released, was interviewed by police when they responded to a report of gunshots last night.

Police have ruled out the possibility of the shot being accidentally self-inflicted. Police say the teen got rid of the clothes and did not tell his parents.

The student was treated at Jersey Shore University Medical Center.

could be because he got in some trouble with the wrong ppl and didn't wanna go to the hospital and have to deal with the police. but its still fucked up that he wouldn't do anything

thats the only reason I could think of too. It is known that there are gangs in Asbury so it could be gang related...possibly
