Palm Bay, FL
A 15-year-old special needs student in Florida was arrested Tuesday after allegedly aiming a toy shotgun at a teaching assistant.
The teenager, who was not identified, was charged with aggravated assault after the incident, Florida Today reported.
A school bus pulled up to his home in Palm Bay, about 75 miles southeast of Orlando, at around 9:00am to take him to Riverdale Country School.
"From what we understand, a teaching assistant got off of the bus to get the student," Brevard County School District spokesperson Christine Davis said. "The student came to the door, first with a knife and then with a shotgun."
The shotgun turned out to be a realistic-looking toy, according to Florida Today.
