Phoenix police tweeted body camera video from late August on Saturday showing the search warrant being executed at the home.

Phoenix police tell ABC15 that information that can be released about the incident is limited.

But they said that the school provided the information that led to the search warrant.

The warrant was executed on the evening of August 28, according to the body camera video.

The gun was found in the student's bedroom.

Police add that the student had been making threats of shooting students at his school in north Phoenix. It's not clear what school or district was involved.

Now, that student is facing a felony charge.

Police reiterate that there is zero tolerance for guns in schools, and those who possess firearms in schools will be arrested.
