A Michigan middle schooler disarmed a classmate who brought a loaded gun to school - but the brave boy was expelled for the entire year.
Sakir Everett, who is just 11 years old, sprang into action when he spotted another student with a firearm inside Dwight Rich School of the Arts in Lansing.
But rather than flee, the seventh grader safely disarmed the weapon, removed the bullets, and dismantled it in an act of bravery that may have averted a mass shooting.
However, Sakir was punished by the school for not immediately reporting the incident to staff.
The astonishing decision by the Lansing School District has sparked outrage from parents and community members, who say Sakir is being treated like a criminal instead of a hero.
