High School Student Arrested After Airsoft Gun Found on Campus | November 17, 2025

Braintree, MA - A 17 year old Braintree High School student was arrested Monday morning after officers found him carrying a realistic-looking airsoft pistol inside the school, according to Braintree Police.

The incident began when a student reported seeing another student with what appeared to be a handgun. The school resource officer and staff quickly identified the teen, who police described as cooperative during the initial contact. A search of his coat turned up the airsoft-type pistol.

“We’re very fortunate someone spoke up and alerted the proper person,” Superintendent Tim MacDonald said. Police Chief Tim Cohoon called it a “very serious incident,” praising the fast coordination between school staff and responding officers.

The teen was cooperative when taken into custody, but police say he resisted arrest at the station and attempted to run during questioning. His name has not been released due to his age.

Police say the case underscores the importance of school safety protocols and strong communication between students, staff, and the school resource officer.

The student was arraigned today in Quincy District Court’s juvenile session on charges including carrying a dangerous weapon on school property, minor in possession of an airsoft/BB gun, resisting arrest, and assault with a dangerous weapon.
