15-Year-Old Jones High Student Charged for Bringing Gun to Orlando School

A 15-year-old Jones High student was charged for bringing a gun to an Orlando school.




The Orlando Police Department said it will not hesitate to protect the students and teachers they serve and take all threats seriously.

After a social media post was shared about a student with a gun at Jones High School, a 15-year-old was swiftly located by the School Resource Officers on campus.

The student was found with an unloaded BB gun. However, it did not have any markings to distinguish it from a real firearm, according to local law enforcement.

While there was no threat associated with his social media post, the actions of this student caused unnecessary fear among his peers, their parents and teachers.

The student was charged with a city ordinance violation: Carrying a Simulated Firearm.




In light of the recent school shooting in Georgia, the Orlando Police Department expressed its unwavering commitment to vigilance in local schools and to stop any individuals who could be considered a danger to public safety.

Recently, a 16-year-old Central Florida student was also arrested for threatening a mass shooting at another local school; a 15-year-old Central Florida student was also arrested for making an online school shooting threat at another school; and a 13-year-old student was also arrested for threatening a school shooting in Central Florida.
