Student suicide leads to bullying allegations

Greenwich, CT

A tragic incident occurred a day after the first day of school at Greenwich High School.  A 15-year old boy died of a self-inflicted gunshot from a shotgun.

The investigation thus far has revealed some indications on social media sites that he faced troubles. On Google+ he posted a picture of himself holding a knife to his eye, along with the words, ""Hey if I were to stab my eye out due to school caused insanity, who would miss me?"

Shortly after that he posted, ""I have chosen to go with 3 peoples advice and kill myself," he wrote July 7 after telling his friends on the network that he had swallowed pills. "I just wish it was faster."

Two Elementary Boys Will Stand Trial For Murder Conspiracy

Ft. Colville, WA
Two students, ten and an eleven year old, at Fort Colville Elementary were arrested after they brought a .45cal handgun with a full clip onto a school bus.  Their intent was to use the handgun to keep anyone from interfering with their plan to rape and stab to death a female classmate.

They had written out a step-by-step plan.  She was selected as the target because "she's rude and always made fun of me and my friends."

The eleven-year old told the police, "I was going to kill her with the knife and [10-year-old] was supposed to use the gun to keep anyone from trying to stop me or mess up our plan." 

The prosecutor determined that the rape was not intended as a display of sexual desire, but as a means of displaying power.

A judge ruled that both boys were emotionally mature to understand what they were doing, and the case is proceeding to trial.

School Safety Policy Changed after Knife Incident

Mount Vernon, OH
Mount Vernon Police Department and the city school administration are investigating reports of middle school students being threatened by another middle school student in possession of a knife.

The alleged incident took place Tuesday afternoon at Dan Emmett Elementary School after the shuttle bus from the middle school dropped off its riders. It was reported to the News that one child made a “mean face” at another, who then pulled a knife. The first child then ran away screaming, according to a witness.

An older student asked what was going on and was also threatened with the knife. Her brother then intervened by yelling, “Get away from my sister!"

While unable by law to discuss an ongoing investigation, Superintendent Steve Short did say the district is taking the reports seriously and has changed its after school procedure with regard to middle school students who ride the shuttle bus to Dan Emmett.
