The Leon County Sheriff's Office says school administrators received a tip that the student may have had a firearm in his backpack. School resource officers and administrators later searched the student's backpack and found a metal BB gun.
Deputies then arrested the student and charged the 12-year-old with Possession of a Dangerous Weapon on School Grounds. They transported the student to the Juvenile Assessment Center.
