A 14-year-old boy was arrested Sept. 22 for threatening to shoot a student, carrying a dangerous weapon on school grounds and possession of alcohol, according to the Renton Police Department.

On Sept. 18 the boy was expelled from Lindbergh High School for bringing a weapon to school.

That day the boy encountered two peers at the school. When the peer inquired about the expulsion, to the boy said, “I was about to go kill somebody.”

The boy then crossed the street, took the gun out, laughed and pointed it at the students for about 10 seconds.

“It made me feel like he was about to shoot me or my friend,” a peer said.

The peer then saw the boy at Lindbergh Sept. 22 and told a teacher about the incident.

Police saw the boy walking across a school parking lot, before confronting him.

The officer frisked the boy, found the weapon and quickly disarmed it, before handcuffing the 14-year-old.

The officer first thought the weapon was a handgun, before examining it closer and discovering it was a Beretta Elite II BB gun.

When asked why he had the weapon, he said “for protection,” before loosely explaining that the person who gave it to him was also threatening to “shoot up his house.”

The boy’s black bag also had eight cans of Tilt alcohol.

Police transferred the boy to the Seattle Youth Detention Center.
