This the school principals statement on the matter: https://linmedia-cms.endplay.com/documents/234677/0/Principa...

Key part:

Several students verified that they had been hit by pellets and had the marks to support their claims. In one instance, a child was only 10 feet from the bus stop and ran from the shots being fired but was still hit. Another student claimed to be shot in the back while running away during a previous incident Wednesday, Sept. 11. This child was also shot in the arm and head during Thursday’s incident. I contacted the school division’s Office of Student Leadership and School Board Legal Counsel for guidance. Because students were on their way to or at a school bus stop when they were struck by pellets, the school division has jurisdiction to take disciplinary actions against those students responsible for the disruption. There is an expectation that all students should be able to travel to and from school in the safest environment possible.

'Toy gun' is a little weak. 'Pellet gun' is more accurate.

It's a toy, that looks like a gun, and shoots plastic balls filled with air that afaik wont break skin. Toy gun is not only not weak, it's accurate.

Anyone still question what the social outcome of all this will be?: society will frown upon gun ownership, to the extent that people will be ostracized for exercising their second amendment rights. It doesn't matter if this is planned or not, it's the end result that matters.
