Two students were arrested at an Orlando high school after a 17-year-old female student was caught with a 9mm handgun, given to her by her 19-year-old boyfriend.
The Orlando Police Department made the arrests at Boone High School for Possession of a Firearm on a School Campus.
On Friday morning, September 13th, OPD School Resource Officers assigned to Boone High School were tipped off about a student carrying a suspected handgun on the Central Florida campus.
The officers worked quickly to locate and detain the 17-year-old, 10th-grade female student and found her to have a loaded 9mm handgun in her backpack.
The officers continued to investigate this incident and determined the female was given the gun to carry with her today by her boyfriend, a 19-year-old, 12th-grade student at the school with plans to later retrieve the firearm.
As a result, both OCPS students were arrested and were charged with “Possession of a Firearm on a School Campus.”
The male adult suspect was also charged with “Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor.”
