Teen accused of bringing Airsoft gun to school faces felony charge

PAPILLION, Neb. —
A 17-year-old accused of bringing an Airsoft gun to school faces a felony charge.
According to investigators, Daejawntae M. Goings was detained by police after a teacher saw what looked like a gun with the student on Wednesday.
Goings did not point the [airsoft] weapon at anyone, and no one was hurt, according to police.
 
The school was evacuated as a precaution.
 
Goings was booked on charges of terroristic threats and disturbing the peace.
Sarpy County Attorney Lee Polikov said Goings also faces a felony charge of tampering with physical evidence. That charge carries a penalty of up to five years in prison, a $10,000 fine or both.
 
Last year, Goings was charged with assault, disturbing the peace and obstructing an officer.
Another teen was charged with terroristic threats and disturbing the peace in a separate incident. Authorities said Brandon Kloberdance, 17, threatened students and staff Thursday.
Polikov is looking to see whether there's a link between the incidents.
