Colorado lagging, Florida close to hitting quota for White teenagers who bring guns to suburban schools

A sheriff's deputy shot a 15-year-old he believed was armed with a 9 mm handgun at a Florida middle school Friday only to learn later that the weapon was a modified pellet gun, the Seminole County sheriff said. The student is on "advanced life support" at Orlando Regional Medical Center, Sheriff Don Eslinger said, adding, "It was a terrible situation." Eslinger said that the student, Christopher David Penley, painted the brightly colored tip of the pellet gun black to make it look like a real gun.
The sheriff's deputy was a member of the SWAT team and shot the eighth-grader only after the student raised the gun and threatened officers, Eslinger said.
The shooting occurred about 9:30 a.m. at the 1,100-student Millwee Middle School in Longwood, Florida.
The suburban Orlando school was evacuated after the shooting.
The incident began when the teen's fellow students saw a gun in his backpack. The students were planning to tell a teacher about it, the sheriff's office said. One of the students confronted the teen, who responded by pointing the weapon at the student and putting him in a closet, Eslinger said. The armed teen then fled, and a school resource officer and others gave chase. Deputies were called to the scene, and the teen led them on a foot chase across campus to an isolated alcove area where police cornered him in a bathroom, the sheriff's office said. Deputies tried to talk the teen into surrendering, but he refused to speak with them, Eslinger said.
"I'm going to kill myself or I'm going to die somehow," Eslinger quoted the boy as saying. "He refused to even comment. All he said was his first name. He did not drop the firearm." The student eventually exited the bathroom and pointed the gun at his own head and throat. When he "raised the firearm in a tactical position and pointed it" at one of the SWAT team members, the officer "decided to use deadly force," Eslinger said. "From what the deputies explained to me, (the teen) was suicidal," the sheriff said. Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigators, who respond any time an officer fires a gun, determined the teen's weapon was an airsoft pellet gun, which shoot BBs or small paintballs, Eslinger said.
Authorities showed the gun alongside a real 9 mm handgun, and there appeared to be little difference between the two. The teen's motive was not clear, but authorities were looking into some things from his past, Eslinger said without elaborating.

awwww...did daddy not buy you the Xbox 360 for Christmas? so once again another suburban nightmare takes place, where im sure hundreds of residents are shouting about how they cant believe that this happened in thier community and whatnot when they are more than likely more screwed up than the boy in question.

my opinion? shoulda let him kill himself. i personally would have found it extremely funny to see a kid attempt to blow his brains out with a pellet gun. obviously this was a stunt from some spoiled piece of shit that wanted attention.

expect Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' kid to do the same in 2020.

Update: Christopher Penley, the teenager in question, is now brain dead. this bit of info comes courtesy of yahoo.com.

Christopher Penley, of Winter Springs, was accused of pulling a pellet gun in a classroom Friday and pointing it at other students. When he later raised the weapon at a deputy, a SWAT team member shot him, authorities said. Penley was clinically brain dead Saturday, said family attorney Mark Nation.
