Spirit Halloween is facing scrutiny after it reportedly advertised bullet belts as a costume accessory and marketed the products to teenagers.
A memorial is seen at Apalachee High School after the Wednesday school shooting, Saturday, Sept. 7, 2024, in Winder, Ga. Some people took to social media to say the company lacked sensitivity following deadly school shootings in the U.S., including one in Georgia that involved a 14-year-old suspect.said shoppers claimed they were "concerned with how the message of having the product in its stores comes across to younger children.
Authorities charged the boy with four counts of murder in the killings. His father was charged with second-degree murder for furnishing his son with a weapon used to kill children. Volusia Sheriff Mike Chitwood said he has a message for the child, his parents, as well as any other kids who want to "disrupt" schools, waste police resources, and cause chaos in the community.
