FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (WSVN) - A teenage boy accused of bringing a friend’s gun to Dillard High School in Fort Lauderdale faced a judge.
Fifteen-year-old Kaylon Hubbard Jr. appeared in court on Friday. He was charged with possession of a firearm on school property.
The court appearance came one day after, detectives said, a 16-year-old accidentally shot himself at a fast food restaurant and had to be taken to the hospital.
Police said Hubbard, a friend of the victim, picked up the gun and took it to school.
The firearm was found in a bag that, detectives said, belonged to the injured 16-year-old.
Police arrested Hubbard without incident.
The teen was ordered to stay in secure detention for 21 days, while the state decides whether or not to prosecute.
