SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — An 11-year-old boy was arrested on aggravated assault and drug charges after allegedly pointing a BB gun at a girl outside a Sioux Falls middle school.

Police say the boy showed the gun to a friend Wednesday afternoon, then pointed it toward the 12-year-old girl and threatened to shoot her.

The boy ran away from a teacher who tried to take the gun and was later arrested at his home. Police say they found marijuana in his room while searching for the gun.

The boy’s 13-year-old brother also was arrested on drug charges because he shares the room.

The two boys were taken to a juvenile detention center and then released to their parents.
