Report: 3rd Graders Plotted to Kill Teacher

Tuesday, April 01, 2008

Officials in Georgia have thwarted a plot by a group of third-grade

special education students to kill their teacher.

Officials at the Center Elementary School in Waycross, Ga., learned

of the plot on March 28, when a student told authorities about the

plan before the start of the school day, the Waycross Journal-Herald

reports.

The plot was hatched by one student who was reprimanded by the

teacher, Waycross Police Chief Tony Tanner told FOX News.

" It's our understanding that she did in fact discipline one of the

students, and they did not like it, he said. " After that, she began

to plot revenge on the teacher. "

Eleven students in the class of 12 were involved, allegedly bringing

to school a broken steak knife, a roll of duct tape, handcuffs,

ribbon and a crystal paperweight in a bid to kill their teacher,

Belle , the paper reports.

" We believe that some of them knew the entire plot and some of them

were ... just asked to bring other items in but they might not have

realized the entire plot, " Tanner said.

Three of the students have been identified as ringleaders and will

likely face prosecution under an unruly charge, because of their age,

Tanner said.

School officials spoke with parents about the incident on Monday, the

paper said.

This problem was a first for the class, Tanner said.

" I don't think that there's been any disciplinary problems that have

occurred in that classroom of a substantial nature, " he said.
