WINTER SPRINGS, Fla. – Students with a water gun forced officials at Winter Springs High School to put the school on a brief Code Red on Monday afternoon, according to a news release.
A spokesperson with Seminole County Public Schools said the Code Red was issued out of an abundance of caution after “two individuals were spotted with what turned out to be a green toy water gun.”
