While riding home on the school bus recently, three teens made a split-second decision that likely saved another student’s life and earned them an immediate suspension.
The Florida students noticed a schoolmate pointing a revolver at another student while threatening to shoot. The trio jumped into action, wrestling the gun away and preventing what could have easily become another senseless tragedy.
One of the students spoke to the media, but requested not to be identified.
“I think he was really going to shoot him right then and there,” the student said, noting the armed teen, Quadryle Davis, was a football player who had threatened to shoot a fellow member of the team over a personal beef.
According to Davis’ arrest report, his .22 caliber handgun was loaded; and he was “pointing the gun directly” at an individual while “threatening to shoot him.” Despite the report, his initial charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon contained the caveat that it was committed without intent to kill.
The students, whose quick thinking likely saved a life, certainly perceived an intent and did what they felt needed to be done. School administrators, on the other hand, felt differently and promptly issued an emergency suspension for each student involved.
Accused of being a part of an incident involving a weapon, the school’s principal made use of a state law that “allows the principal to suspend a student immediately pending a hearing,” a district source explained.
While it is technically true these three teens were involved in an incident with a weapon, they were only involved to the extent that they disarmed a potential threat. Punishing everyone involved sends an irrational and discouraging message.
This principal could stand to learn something from the mother of one of the suspended students, who said the brave youth “should have a pat on their backs because they did the right thing to save someone from burying their child.”
They most assuredly did do the right thing, and I can only hope that their ridiculous treatment by the school does not dissuade any other youth from jumping in when needed.

This is the corrupt school system we have in this country.This is what happens when you let liberals take over the education system.These 3 students should be honored rather then be given suspensions.This is what happens when you have a dickhead for a schoool administrator.
This all goes towards AG Eric Holders "We need to get people to rethink the way they do about guns"….That's why all the "Hello Kitty Bubble Guns", "Nerf Guns", and Water Guns are being demonized so much by the Media. Heck, even just using Imaginary Guns get you expelled now too.
This is insane behavior on the part of the school. The students who possibly saved another 's life. The student who should have been suspended was the one holding the gun and he should have been put in jail, his parent's should be held accountable for their son's action and for possessing a gun. This school and its administrator's are either far left or on drugs.
The school administrators and principal need to be fired for their stupidity. If this is as far as they can think, I don't want them around my children. Had it been their child these three saved it would have been different If it had been the Obama brats it would have been different.
Keep being heroes boys, we need more in this world like you. Thank you for doing the right thing and thank your parents for teaching you morals.
We have to get these insane people out of our schools. These brave students will probably have something on their record about an incident with a weapon. These crazy administrators in our schools are not fit to be around our children and are totally brainwashing them. Get your kids out of schools where there is no common sense in the head office.
