MIAMI (WSVN) - South Florida students were honored by City of Miami Police for doing the right thing.

Police said Adanaque had the bravery and courage to immediately report a classmate, who had brought a weapon to school and pointed it at him, to a teacher.

The ceremony is part of a non-profit community-based program that recognizes students who report criminal activity at their schools.

Adanaque was one of 10 students out of over 600 nominees to receive rewards.
