Deputies: Naples Student, 11, Brought Gun To School, Threatened Classmates

MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) - Collier County Sheriff's Office deputies said a Naples elementary school student was arrested Tuesday after he brought an unloaded gun to school and threatened two classmates.

A deputy stopped the 11-year-old boy as he got off the morning bus at Osceola Elementary School in Naples, according to a Collier County Sheriff's Office news release. The fourth-grade student faces a felony charge of carrying a concealed weapon on school grounds.

Deputies learned earlier Tuesday morning that the boy had threatened other students a day earlier, officials said. When they searched his backpack, they reported finding a handgun, the statement said.

Officials didn't release the boy's name.

Deputies said there was no further danger to the school.
