ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — A 17-year-old Wekiva High School student has been arrested for bringing a gun to school, Orange County deputies said.
On Friday, Clevens Delice posted a video on Snapchat of himself with the gun, and a student notified school resource officers at the school, deputies said. Deputies later confirmed the gun was loaded.
Delice faces charges of possession of a firearm on school grounds and possession of an altered firearm. Eyewitness News has named the juvenile because both offenses are felony charges.
Delice did not threaten anyone with the firearm, deputies said.
Sheriff Jerry Demings applauded the student who reported that Delice had a gun, investigators said.
"They did the right thing. I don't know who they were, but they should be getting a gold medal basically," student Jesse Sanders told Channel 9's Len Kiese.
Principal Michele Erickson sent a phone message to parents to alert them of the situation and to let parents know the school was briefly placed on lockdown while deputies located Delice, investigators said.
"The appropriate disciplinary action will be handed out in accordance with the code of student conduct," Erickson said in the phone message.
