A pair of Taunton high school students have been suspended after posing for a Homecoming picture holding Airsoft guns.

According to WHDH.com, The students were posing in their home before Homecoming, with one controversial photo of them holding the Airsoft guns. The Bristol-Plymouth Regional Voc Tech Homecoming went off without incident, but school officials found the pictures on social media afterward and suspended the two juniors.

The photos captioned "Homecoming 2014", reportedly scared other students. The school Superintendent Richard W. Gross said that had he known about the pictures prior to the Homecoming, he would have canceled the event.

With gun violence at school in the news lately, the pictures are being very seriously by school officials. Jamie Pereira, one of the suspended students, said, “It's not like it happened at school, we had the guns [at home] and that's where the pictures were taken and they said it didn't matter." She went on to say, "I guess the school took that as a threat but we didn't mean it in a threatening way."

Do you think the school overreacted? Did the students' actions deserve a 10-day suspension?
