Authorities investigated after the school resource officer was given a tip that a student had a gun in a backpack.
The school resource officer approached the student, who then reportedly fled into another part of the school.
The officer was unable to confirm whether there was a gun in the backpack at that time, and the school was put on the lockdown as police searched for the student.
Police were later able to take the student into custody, and they say they recovered a discarded pellet gun.
No injuries were reported.
The suspect's identity will not be released because the information of juveniles is protected.
