HARRISON TOWNSHIP, Pa. -- A 13-year-old Highland Student was suspended Thursday for bringing a soft-air BB gun to school.

They are called soft-air BB guns but there's nothing soft about them.

Chief Mike Klein of Harrison Township Police said the BB's can easily take out an eye, making it a dangerous weapon.

The soft-air guns are legal, so the teen can't be charged with a crime.

The student remains suspended pending a school board hearing next week.
