GULF COUNTY, Fla. — A Florida man has been arrested and charged after authorities said he drew an image of school violence on a student's homework assignment.

School staff sparked an investigation after seeing a drawing that included a schoolhouse on fire, a person appearing to hold a gun next to the words "Pew Pew Pew" shooting at a line of people, another person on fire next to the words "AHHH! It burns!" and two people on the ground in what appears to be a pool of blood, the Gulf County Sheriff's Office said.
