A 8 & 9-year-old students group planned to attacked their teacher, bringing a broken steak knife, handcuffs, duct tape & other items for the job & assigning children tasks including covering the windows & cleaning up afterward.

School officials alerted police on Friday after a pupil tipped off a teacher that a girl had brought a weapon to school. An official said that the students apparently planned to knock the teacher unconscious with a crystal paperweight, bind her with the handcuffs & tape & then stab her with the knife.

The official also said, “We feel like if they weren’t interrupted, there would have been an attempt. Would they have been successful? We don’t know”.

The children, ages 8 to 10, were apparently mad at the teacher because she had scolded one of them for standing on a chair. Two of the students were arrested on juvenile charges on Tuesday & a third arrest was expected.
