His participation in the incident was to wrestle the loaded revolver out of the hands of the football player who was threatening to shoot another player<\/a>:<\/p>\n

A 16-year-old Cypress Lake High School student, who wrestled a loaded revolver away from a teen threatening to shoot, is being punished.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The student, who Fox 4 has agreed not to identify and distort his voice 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.<\/p>\n

The teen we spoke to and authorities both confirm the Revolver was loaded. According to the arrest report the suspect, who Fox 4 is not naming because he is a minor, was “pointing the gun directly” at another student and “threatening to shoot him.”<\/p>\n

That’s when the student we spoke with says he and others tackled the teen and wrestled away the gun. The next day the school slapped him with a three day suspension.<\/p>\n

“It’s dumb,” he said. “How they going to suspend me for doing the right thing?”<\/p>\n

According to the referral, he was suspended for being part of an “incident” where a weapon was present and given an “emergency suspension.”<\/p>\n

“If they wouldn’t’ve did what they had to do on that bus,” the teen’s mother said, “I think there would have been a lot of fatalities.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
