"There's no indication that the student brandished the firearm, or took it out," said Captain Nick Boatman with the Owasso Police Department. "There was a group of students who knew he had it, and they reported it to school administrators.
No one was hurt, and the student will not return to school for the rest of the academic year.
2 News Oklahoma spoke with a concerned parent who asked to remain anonymous. She said her daughter now wants to finish the school year online.
"She's concerned that anything could happen in the parking lot, let alone the classroom. I'm concerned that this is my little girl. I'm not going to let anything happen."
Paul Croft is the Director of Safety and Security for Owasso Public Schools. He says he's proud of both the students and administrators for their actions.
"We're constantly reinforcing to our students, if you see something, say something."
