Zero-tolerance madness.

(WOFL FOX 35 ORLANDO) – The purple confetti shooters clearly look like toy party favors, but when students were playing with them on a Flagler County School bus to celebrate at student’s birthday Wednesday morning, it resulted in deputies being called to the scene.

“We had two students that brought a party favor, it was a purple plastic confetti gun, but when it went off it did making a popping sound,” Katrina Townsend with Flagler County Schools.

The popping sound startled the bus driver enough to call deputies and advise that some sort of gun was on the school bus.

“Once he heard the pop, even though it may be wasn’t exactly the sound of a gun he just wanted to be precautionary and so he called for backup,” Townsend said. “He did the right thing.”

Flagler County deputies quickly established there was no threat on the bus and the students from Buddy Taylor Middle School continued on the route to the school. Fox 35 showed parents a picture of the party favor, which the district considers a toy gun.

“It doesn’t look like a gun to me at all,” said Juanito Rosario.
