Well I'm certainly no professional but I would mix corn syrup and red food coloring for "blood" and pour it into little Ziplocking snack bags (the real tiny ones) and use duck tape (um if theres chest hair might wanna shave the area 1st) to secure the bag to their skin. When they get "shot" they would Smack/Grab the wound popping the bag for a bloody effect. As to the gun, have you considered a black spray painted cap gun, they make a great loud noise, even giving off a bit of smoke for added effect and they are very cheap. Alot of movies use real guns with Blanks loaded in them, but unless you have an honest to god gun expert working with you i wouldent reccomend fooling with that. however, and I'm only mentioning this because you said it was for school. I hope this is a social awareness type project or that you have someones permission for this type of violence to be portayed in school, because in light of the recent widespread panic going on in schools across the country right now it might not be appreaciated as art.

In the movies they use food coloring as well as corn syrrup or red dye to help create the look of blood. Here's a link for making realistic fake blood [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
The sound effect of a gun going off is not made from fire-crackers in Hollywood films. A group of people called foley artists create sound effects on their own for films and record them in a studio during post-production.
Here's an article on what they do and how they do it. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
