Elementary students face discipline after pointing BB guns at other Clearfield students

In an email to parents, South Clearfield Elementary principal Robert Kinghorn said the incident occurred as students were arriving at the school Friday morning. He described the guns as"small" and said none were discharged.

Kinghorn added that it was fellow students who alerted officials to the BB guns and there is no threat at the school. "We encourage all students, as well as our entire school community, to always be willing to seek out a wise adult and report anything they see, hear or read that makes them feel uncomfortable," wrote Kinghorn.

Wow… it’s sad and disappointing how our youth are getting more and more influenced by violence. If these kids are fascinated by pointing guns at people, no matter what kind, (real or fake) at THIS age, imagine what they’ll become when they grow up. Smh

You’ll shoot your eye out.
