Boston Police report arresting a 14-year-old with a fake gun in his waistband at the Dearborn STEM Academy on Winthrop Street in Roxbury this morning.
Police said BPS security guards first spotted the teen carrying a laptop in a hallway shortly before 7:50 a.m., then noticed him fiddling with his waistband, where "they observed a firearm," police say.
The guards managed to detain him and remove the gun, police say.
Upon further review, it was determined that the male was not a registered Boston Public School student and was not enrolled in the Boston Public School system at the time of his arrest. ... The firearm recovered was determined to be a BB Gun that was a replica of a Glock firearm.
He was charged with being delinquent for possession of a firearm on school property and trespassing, police say.

A very dangerous situation for police to handle but I don't believe a BB gun is a firearm.

A BB gun is not a "firearm." Is the statutory meaning broader?

Yes it’s a misdemeanor and if it were a real firearm he would have been charged with both violations. One charge is possession of a firearm without a license (a felony) and carrying a “firearm” (which includes BB guns) on campus would be the second charge.
