JUPITER, Fla. – A Florida high school student is accused of taking a BB gun to school and posting a photo of it on Snapchat along with a threat.

The Palm Beach Post reports the student was arrested Thursday. The student’s name, age and criminal charges weren’t released by the Palm Beach County School District. But officials confirmed the photo was taken in a classroom at Jupiter High School, which is north of West Palm Beach.
