An anonymous tip Monday ended in the arrest of a King High School student who had brought a gun to class, according to the Hillsborough Sheriff's Office.

Devin Carter, 16, of Temple Terrace, was arrested and charged with carrying a concealed firearm and possession of a weapon on school grounds.

When authorities received the tip, a school resource deputy, school security and administrators pulled Carter from his classroom. They searched the teenager's backpack and found the .25 caliber handgun. Inside the gun were two bullets.
