Douglas Weathers, the boy's father, told the Mail Tribune that the drawing was harmless, and that 6-year-old Ryan was punished merely for copying something he had seen on an episode of "The Simpsons" TV show.
The disciplinary report given to Ryan's parents listed the reason behind the suspension as a threat to "shoot two girls in the head," the father told the Mail Tribune.
School officials declined to comment to the paper, saying they could not by state law discuss actions against specific students.
"The Simpsons" is produced by 20th Century FOX Television. News Corp. is the parent company of both 20th Century FOX Television and FOXNews.com.
