Officers found the gun to be a 9-millimeter, blank-firing pistol that strongly resembled an actual fire arm. The orange tip had been scraped off, according to police.
The teen’s grandmother said she had taken the pistol way from him but recently allowed him to have it back. She said she wanted the pistol destroyed.
Officers took possession of the pistol and cautioned the boy against any behavior in the future. The teen is currently suspended from school and could face further charges, according to Lt. Scott Reeve.
