The student allegedly left the property and police were contacted.
The lockdown was lifted after roughly 10 minutes once police apprehended the 16-year-old boy. The air-soft pistol was found nearby.
In the wake of this incident, police are reminding the public that all firearms, real or fake, pose a threat to public safety and police will always treat firearms as real until determined otherwise.
