Cypress HS students suspended for disarming gunman?
Student gets 3 day suspension after wrestling away gun

FORT MYERS, Fla. - A 16-year-old Cypress Lake High School student, who wrestled a loaded revolver away from a teen threatening to shoot, is being punished.

The student grappled the gun away from the 15-year-old suspect on the bus ride home Tuesday after witnesses say he aimed the weapon point blank at another student and threatened to shoot him.

The student, who Fox 4 has agreed not to identify because he fears for his safety, says there's "no doubt" he saved a life by disarming the gunman. And for that he was suspended for three days....

...According to the referral, he was suspended for being part of an "incident" where a weapon was present and given an "emergency suspension."..
