TAMPA, Fla. — A 16-year-old high school student has been arrested after authorities said he brought a loaded, stolen gun to school.

According to authorities, officers on Friday located a stolen 9-millimeter firearm and more than 20 rounds of ammunition in the Hillsborough High School student's backpack.

The school’s faculty received a tip about a student vaping in one of the restrooms. The school resource office was able to locate the backpack, which the student had given to another student, officials said.

While this remains an active investigation, police said nothing suggests the student had the intention to harm anyone on the campus using the stolen firearm.

The student is facing felony charges of illegal possession of stolen property, illegal possession of a firearm on school campus, defacing a firearm and a misdemeanor charge of obstruction with an investigation. In accordance with Spectrum Bay News 9's crime guidelines, the student's identity is not being released due to being a minor.

"Back in June, we made it very clear that a juvenile who illegally possesses a firearm will face serious consequences," said Chief Lee Bercaw. "We're fortunate that no one was hurt, but let this be a stark reminder for students who think bringing a firearm onto the school's campus is a good idea- it's not and there are adult consequences as a result of adult decisions."
