Here's how I think it should go:
1st major offense- transfer to another school + fail current grade. Send a MAJOR wakeup call. THis is not running in the halls, or a little scuffle (and we all know the difference), or whatever. This is assault, possession of a firearm, drugs on school grounds, racism, sexual assault, etc etc.
2nd time- expulsion from public school. Government will fund the kid to go to a school (approved and certed by the government) that specializes in problem children- BUT ONLY ONCE. If the kid decides they don't like it, tough. If they get booted, they are on their own. If they get in trouble with the law after being booted from the special school (or quitting), they don't get the juvenile justice system, they get the criminal justice system with maximum sentencing preferred.
What happens to them? Well, they get a crappy job. Or they join the army. Or, more likely, they just continue their downward spiral, shoot someone and go to jail for life or get shot and die. Personally, I don't care. The fact is, people who bring guns to school or attack students with knives are only at school because they have to be. And forcing someone to go somewhere NEVER results in them being productive- they just screw it up for everyone else as much as possible.
