Airsoft Pranks in Schools January 22, 2006
(Visited 1787 times)Yet another piece of bad publicity for our beloved sport. The student in question obviously wasn’t smart enough to know that with authorities a little tight because of the Florida shooting incident, any stupid stunt would likely warrant a similar response from authorities. He’s lucky to be alive.
A 17-year-old Forks High School student with a toy handgun prompted a 15-minute school-wide lockdown in Forks on Wednesday.
The male student allegedly aimed and fired a spring airsoft gun containing plastic projectiles at several friends in the high school parking lot, according to the Forks Police Department.
The student was being held Thursday at the Clallam County Juvenile Detention Center in Port Angeles, and law enforcement officials are considering possible criminal charges.
“Toy guns that look real at schools . . . is not funny, and it is not a game,'’ Forks Police Chief Mike Powell said in a press release.
“Serious and deadly consequences can result in this type of activity.'’
