FIRST ALERT WERE CAST IN A FEW MINUTES. >>> THE HARPER COUNTY COMMUNITY IS STILL SHAKEN AFTER A 15-YEAR-OLD WAS SHOT AND KILLED BY A 16-YEAR-OLD CLASSMATE INSIDE JOPPATOWNE HIGH SCHOOL FRIDAY AFTERNOON. LESS THAN ONE WEEK INTO THE SCHOOL YEAR. THE SUSPECT IS BEHIND BARS AND CHARGED AS AN ADULT WITH MURDER. COMMUNITY MEMBERS ARE PREPARING TOGETHER FOR A VIGIL. JESSICA ALBERT IS IN HARFORD COUNTY. YOU WERE ON THE SCENE FRIDAY. JUST A TRAGIC SERIES OF EVENTS THERE. >> Reporter: IT TRULY IS. AND THE COMMUNITY, LIKE YOU SAID, IS GRIEVING. SEVERAL COMMUNITY MEMBERS ARE PLANNING TO WEAR PURPLE TOMORROW. THAT IS THE SCHOOL COLORS OF JOPPATOWNE HIGH SCHOOL. WE ALSO HAVE LEARNED THAT FAMILY AND FRIENDS OF THE YOUNG VICTIM , WARREN GRANT GOT WILL HOLD A VIGIL IN HIS HONOR TONIGHT, BUT THEY HAVE ASKED MEDIA NOT TO ATTEND. JOPPATOWNE AND THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES ARE IN MOURNING AFTER THE DEATH OF WARREN GRANT, SHOT IN THE BATHROOM AT THE SCHOOL FRIDAY AFTERNOON. IT SPARKED A MASSIVE POLICE RESPONSE AS OFFICERS SEARCHED FOR THE 16-YEAR-OLD SUSPECT WHO WAS A STUDENT AT THE SCHOOL. HE WAS ARRESTED AT A NEARBY APARTMENT COMPLEX AFTER THE SHOOTING. WJZ IS NOT NAMING THE SUSPECT DUE TO HIS AGE, BUT THE SHERIFF SAID THAT DEPUTIES HAVE HAD AT LEAST 10 INTERACTIONS WITH THEM IN THE LAST TWO YEARS. SINCE THE SHOOTING COMMUNITY MEMBERS HAVE BEEN TRYING TO SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER THROUGH THIS UNSPEAKABLE TRAGEDY. ANOTHER VIGIL WAS HELD THE NIGHT OF THE SHOOTING. >> WE HAVE A TENDENCY TO GO TO TRAGEDY ALONE , BUT JOPPATOWNE IS SUCH A WONDERFUL COMMUNITY. I KNEW THERE WOULD BE PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY THAT WOULD FEEL THE NEED TO COME OUT. >> Reporter: CLASSES HERE AT JOPPATOWNE HIGH SCHOOL WILL BE CANCELED UNTIL THURSDAY , AND SEVERAL OF THE SURROUNDING SCHOOLS IN THE AREA WILL NOT BE GOING TO CLASS TOMORROW SO THE COMMUNITY AND STUDENTS WILL HAVE TIME TO GRIEVE.
