A U.S. passenger plane was evacuated moments before taking off in California after a teenager sent a picture of an airsoft gun to other passengers traveling with the airline, according to reports.

The teenager sent the unbefitting photo via Apple’s wireless communication service AirDrop—a featured service that allows either iOS and macOS users to transfer content via wireless internet or Bluetooth, KNTV-TV reported.
