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.

teachers who suspend students for defending themselves are CRIMINALLY liable (felony) and AUTOMATICALLY lose tenure and are suspended without pay pending criminal trial.
No reservation of conviction by statute. Mandatory conviction if plead out.
