A schoolboy has been charged with a felony after bringing an air gun to school.

COLLIER COUNTY, Florida. A Collier High School student was charged with possession of a weapon on school property after bringing an air gun to school.

The BB pistol is almost identical to the Glock 19X pistol. Detectives say the gun was in his backpack, which the student showed several times to other students and said he planned to shoot targets after school.

Some students believed the gun was real and said they were afraid. As an added precaution, law enforcement will be stepped up on the Barron Collier High School campus.
