BARBERTON, Ohio -- A Barberton Middle School student was arrested Thursday after he brought two handguns to school, according to police.

Students learned the boy brought a weapon to school and alerted a school resource officer, teachers and other faculty, according to Barberton police spokesman Marty Eberhart.

School resource officer Shannon Davis and administrators arrested the boy and confiscated two unloaded handguns, Eberhart said.

The student was taken to the Summit County Juvenile Detention Center where he awaits a court hearing.

“At no time were any students threatened,” Eberhart said. “The arrested juvenile did not display any harmful intent toward himself or others.”

The school district is crediting its “See Something, Say Something” program for the swift handling of the situation, and commending the students who "saw something and they said something right away to the right people,” Eberhart said.
