TOWSON, MD — Social media posts by a student at Loch Raven High School prompted police action over the weekend and reportedly led to a call to parents on Monday.

After a 16-year-old student shared photos on the social media site Snapchat showing himself with a gun and saying: "You think I'm joking," an anonymous tipster identified the boy and notified police, according to Fox 45.

The boy's parents gave law enforcement permission to search their home, where officials found two handguns, one of which matched the gun in the photos, according to Fox 45, which reported Loch Raven High School issued a robo call to parents on Monday about the incident.
