PEYTON, COLO. -- A 14-year-old boy brought a gun to Falcon High School Thursday with the intention to sell it to another student.

El Paso County Sheriff's deputies said the boy did not threaten anyone with the gun, but was just looking to sell it.

The boy was cited for possession of a weapon and having a weapon in a school.

He did not fire any shots, nobody was threatened or injured, and deputies said there is no reason to believe anyone is in danger.
