A simple misunderstanding led to a very serious reaction from a Beaver County, Pennsylvania School earlier this week.
All the schools in the county were advised to lock down for about 20 minutes while police searched for a 19-year-old Ambridge Area High School student whose voicemail greeting, the “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” song, was taken as a gun threat.
The line from the Will Smith song, “shooting some b-ball outside of the school,” was taken to say, “shooting some people outside of the school.”
A receptionist had called the student’s phone to remind him of an eye doctor appointment. Upon hearing the voicemail, she quickly called police. Schools were advised to commence lock-down procedures, and the student was quickly apprehended and placed in custody.
After explaining the situation, police determined that the voicemail was, in fact, the student rapping the intro to the hit ’90s TV series.
Ambridge Area Superintendent Erv Weischedel gave a positive spin on the situation, reports TimesOnline.com. “It gave us a wonderful chance to review our emergency procedures,” he said. “It was a good drill that went very, very well.”

…white people.
You do gotta watch what your kids listen to. This Fresh Prince character sounds pretty dangerous.
These people are so pathetic and scared of everything! This shits needs to stop. These schools, American, people, and fake celebrities are all over reacting. All this anti-gun propaganda is sickening!
good drill that went very well my arse ! you couldn’t even distinguish the words properly. even at that a show thats been on for over 6 seasons… Lame.
Stupaaadddddd!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Will Smith has yet to comment on his dangerous song.
Even after the pranks on those Christian television shows, the Fresh Prince still works in mysterious ways.
Always knew that nigga Will Smith dangerous than most thugs in the hood. Damn! He shooting b-balls outside the school? What if an innocent bystander catches a stray bullet?
more like a stray bucket lmao!!
STUPID WHITE PPL
Congrats on your efforts to keep racism alive.
STUPID RACIST PPL

Fuckin idiots
Ignorant Little Niglets below this comment
ignorant little prick above
white people.
^^ Sorry, last time I check there was no Uzis being made in the hood.
Top two comments = racist and retarded
Next comment – Uzi’s are an Israeli army weapon and there is a 100% that they had fuck all to do with this situation.
To sum up – FUCK YOU BOTH
We don’t go shooting up schools or cinemas either, boy…
^^ (Btw, I’m not the OP, I’m on your side)
Asian people. Black people. Hispanic people. Brown people.
BTW, Lyonel is one uncle-tom name.
Lyonel’s right tho. Call us whatever you want, but we ain’t the even the ones with the most guns. People in the hood are too poor to even buy one. Just look it up the average American gun owner is a middle aged suburban white man plus we don’t even own the arms industries so you can miss me with that shit.
Anyone else think Suge Knight look like Uncle Phil?
No.
Yea
Suge Knight isn’t Uncle Phil?
Who calls a high school student’s cell phone to remind them of an eye doctor appointment? lol
yeah i was thinking that too at first. he probably gave them that number though.
im thinking it was the receptionist from the optometrist that called and heard the voicemail message and over reacted and called the police
Will Smith is like the cleanest rapper alive. makes this so funny. deez white folks
Ja Rule could handle this situation easy, he in jail now, but don’t fuck around, he be makin’ ’em shivs there
lmao dude you are hilarious

To lock down a whole school over a rap song just proves how white people are scared of us. But in reality we’re the ones who should be scared since the police is killing us more than ourselves.
Yeah the Fresh Prince has frightened away many of my white bretheren with his gang-banging antics
no it’s not. Have you seen all the recent school shootings? Every fucking week you hear a new kid in a school with a gun, and they have been mostly white kids. Nothing about race here at all. Whenever you hear something that is going to resemble shooting a school now, they are gonna take all measures to be 100% safe.
hahah @ JRich
IT’S LIKE THEY NEVER SEEN A NIGGA BEFORE!!!
TRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
fuck you whitey
LAND OF THE WEAK BECAUSE YOU LIVE HERE BITCH
enunciate
problem solved
Stupid humans, you’d rather argue with racial slurs on a Fresh Prince article than come up with some sort of a solution for problems that really matter, such as fighting against the wealthy 1% that own you regardless of your skin color. hahahaha Im glad my race is truly superior than you puny humans. You may feel your race is better than others but in our eyes we see you as all the same……..puny and stupid.
The fact that some of you black people think every fucking gun misunderstanding is about them makes you look so self involved.
Don’t leave a rap for your voicemail message kids…or some crazy white lady might call the cops on you.
So Will Smith’s raps are poisoning the minds? loL. Seth McFarlane doesn’t believe this either. You scrubs are calling racism over non-threatening Will Smith?
20 schools on lockdown? This shit is hilarious
“But in reality we’re the ones who should be scared since the police”
Awww. Poor anonymous is a victim.
Can always come to an article like this on DX to see that racism is alive and well.
I’m trippin’ of the fact he/she is 19 years old and still in high school.
Can we just talk about how the happiest rapper of all time just evoked fear into the hearts of thousands lol
imagine if it was kim by eminem
And to think I was going to do a free concert at their school.
That’s hilarious
This is an easy one, reprimand or fire the receptionist.
“I’m trippin’ of the fact he/she is 19 years old and still in high school.”
Smh. That doesn’t necessarily mean he/she is slow. He/She could have started school late (yes, is does happen). Btw, some of the posts here are fucking stupid.
