An Oakland Park teen was arrested on Wednesday after bringing a stun gun to school, the Broward Sheriff's Office said

Hayden Hanstein, 18, was in the parking lot of Northeast High School on Wednesday morning when he met with friends, showed them his weapon and started discharging it several times, according to an arrest affidavit.

A school security officer heard the noises and approached the group, the affidavit said. The teen then gave the officer the weapon and Broward Sheriff's deputies were called.

The teen was arrested for possession of an electronic weapon on school property.

Just turning 18, Hanstein appeared before a judge on Thursday morning.

"We states, post Miranda, he admitted knowledge of possession of the stun gun on school he said he knew he was not supposed to have it on school property," said prosecutor Eric Linder. 

Hanstein's attorney fires back — he's a good kid. 

"He didn't take it to his school; he didn't try to use it on anyone. He's an honor roll student, actually has been since middle school.  He just turned 18 two months ago," the defense attorney said.

According to a message sent to parents by the school's principal, Anthony Valachovic, the situation didn't involve any threats towards the school, students or staff. He also said the student will "face appropriate school disciplinary measures."

"School safety is everyone's responsibility," Valachovic said. "Parents are encouraged to remind their children about the severe consequences of bringing weapons or other banned items onto school campuses, and if you see something, say something."

The school community was scared after the incident

Parents and guardians shared their concerns with CBS News Miami about their students' safety after the incident.

"I just think it's inappropriate," said sophomore Brianna Bonilla. 

She said it scares her.

"How concerning is it for you?" CBS News Miami asked a grandfather who was picking up his grandson.

"Quite a bit. I have a special needs grandchild whom I pick up early.  School security can only do so much," he said
