Two high school students in Middleborough, Massachusetts, have been suspended from Bristol-Plymouth Regional Technical School in Taunton after posting a picture on Facebook. It shows the two holding Airsoft guns and dressed for the school’s homecoming dance which was held last Friday.
Airsoft guns are replicas, which can fire plastic pellets, and are intended to be non-lethal.
Tito Velez, 16, said it was his idea, "We wanted something unique and different instead of using flowers like everyone else. We were like, 'let’s use something we like to do on the weekend as a prop.'"
