MOUNT CARMEL, Pa. (AP) — A 5-year-old Pennsylvania girl who told another girl she was going to shoot her with a pink toy gun that blows soapy bubbles has been suspended from kindergarten.
Her family has hired an attorney to fight the punishment, which initially was 10 days but was reduced to two.
Attorney Robin Ficker says Mount Carmel Area School District officials labeled the girl a "terrorist threat" for the bubble gun remark, made Jan. 10 as both girls waited for a school bus.
Ficker says the girl didn't even have the bubble gun with her and has never fired a real gun. He says she's "the least terroristic person in Pennsylvania."
School district solicitor Edward Greco tells pennlive.com (

If the other little girl had gotten soapy bubbles in her eyes, it could have been very painful.
Bubble Guns can be a gateway weapon. It seems like fun and games till someone gets a hold of a sudsy nuclear device.
Where was the armed school resource officer during this threatening Bubble Gun conversation? I think the teachers need to be equipped ant trained with Bubble Guns. If it would only save one child.
Hahahahaha! I wonder if she had an "assault style" fairy princess adjustable stock as well. Bubble guns like that are only designed with one thing in mind
