CAPE CORAL, Fla. - A national youth rights group is prepared to sue the Lee County School District, not for money, but to expunge the suspension given to a teen many are calling a hero.
This comes more than a week after a Cypress Lake High School student was suspended after he wrestled a loaded .22 caliber revolver away from a would be gunman threatening to shoot another student.
"He was going to shoot him point blank," said the 16-year-old teen who wrestled the loaded gun away.
Fox 4 is not identifying him because he fears for his safety. He believes he prevented a tragedy.
"If you didn't tackle him what do you think would have happened?," asked Fox 4 reporter Matt Grant.
"More of us would have been dead," the teen said. "Not just one."

Public schools are responsible for the demise of America. Get your kids out if at all possible.
public schools, like public housing, should be avoided at all costs.
Go for the money and bankrupt the school district, use it as leverage to force dismissal of the anti Constitutional lefties in senior positions.
The school later altered the document, sending the family a new referral to say it was because he was "uncooperative" with the investigation and "lied repeatedly" to law enforcement.
Suspicious...
Shoulda’ taken the gun away and shot the bastard. You’re gonna’ get run over the hurdles, anyway.
Any lawsuit will be paid by taxpayers. Schools can always
“afford” to be wrong ,but fight charges nonetheless.
public schools, like public housing, should be avoided at all costs.
That's very well said, TexasFreeper2009!
Add public parks, libraries, hospitals, tansportation, etc. to that list.
You can always count on running into the "best" and "brightest" society has to offer in those places.
School: “Your child is suspended for being involved where a weapon was present.”
Parent: “My child was killed by a gunman.”
School: “Exactly, that’s the incident.”
Parent: “But, my child is dead....”
School” “And suspended too.”
