BB / Orbeez Gun Social Media Trend
Dear CASD families,
A recent social media trend circulating TikTok and other platforms is encouraging students to perform drive-by shootings of their peers using BB’s, pellets, or soft gel beads known as Orbeez.
This unacceptable behavior has the potential to cause serious harm. Additionally, these “toy” guns can be mistaken for lethal weapons. Students who participate in these activities will face disciplinary consequences, including possible arrest and expulsion.
We ask that you assist us in keeping our schools safe by talking to your child(ren) about this disturbing trend. Additionally, we encourage you to report any threats of violence via the Safe2Say website (https://www.safe2saypa.org/) or by calling 1-844-SAF2SAY.
Sincerely,
Dr. Dion Betts
Superintendent of Schools
Chambersburg Area School District
