The teen didn’t threaten or point the weapon at anyone, but showed it off to other students, according to a school officer.

The officer took the gun and Engles was taken into custody.

In 2012, a student shot and critically injured another student in Perry Hall High School's cafeteria. The 15-year-old was sentenced to 35 years in prison after pleading guilty to attempted murder in the crime.
