Police said the 28-year-old woman is related to the shooting suspect. She was charged with violating Michigan’s safe storage laws and has since been released on bond.

On Tuesday, June 10, Maiya Chanae Primm was arraigned on one count of failing to secure a firearm, causing injury. Her bond was continued.

According to authorities, a student brought an unsecured handgun to school in his backpack and while sitting on the school bus, he was handling the gun when it discharged, hitting another boy in the left hand.
