SPRING GARDEN (WPVI) -- Five students are in custody after a shot was fired in Philadelphia's Ben Franklin High School on Friday.

The Action Cam was there as some of the students were taken into custody after police swarmed the building.

There was no word on if any of those taken into custody are considered to be suspects.

The school does have a metal detector, so students were puzzled as to how someone was able to get a gun inside.

Why would they need a metal detector when it's a gun free zone?

The picture of the students were blurred, so I was not able to learn too many details about them.

Maybe they still have a shop class and made it, or a school employee brought it in, or gosh, maybe someone threw it over a fence to a student?

How many Pennsylvanians does it take to fire one shot?

Wow. They actually call it an “Action Cam”?

My kids went to Washington. It’s easy to open a back door and wallaa, we had metal detectors, city police, and dogs. This was one of the good schools, As far as Ben Franklin, I’m surprised it isn’t daily or at the least weekly.

Beat downs happen daily in all Philly middle and high schools. Why do you think they don’t want them having cell phones. They don’t want that recorded. They want to say all is ok

A high school filled with thugs named after Benjamin Franklin? That is a travesty.

We should demand that it be named after a more fitting person - maybe P Ditty, Sharpton, or maybe Mayor Marion Barry.

The word is “voila” and not “wallaa”.

Voilà = Look at DAT!

In French it can mean a lot of things, like the spanish "Mira". From "Voir" to see, and "la" that / there / it / the ...
