We remember that high school was tough, but even if you're not allowed to go to the prom, bringing a fake uzi to school is never a good idea (except on "Bring Your Uzi To School Day"). A freshman at Flushing High School "brandished a realistic- looking toy Uzi" and told classmates that he was going to "start shooting." After students called their parents from their cellphones, authorities "canvassed the school" and found the disgruntled kid, and The Daily News reports that cops have arrested the boy and he's being tried as a juvenile.

Classmates told reporters that the teenager was teased and called "scarecrow" for being skinny, and that he pulled the weapon in class to prove to his classmates that he was serious, but "a witness said the teacher never noticed." We presume that this teacher either has poor eyesight or has seen Dangerous Minds too many times.
