CORNING, Ohio -
Students and
teachers were listed on a "kill note" that was found at a high school
in Perry County Friday.
The hand-written
kill list was found in the boy's restroom of Miller High School in Corning
Friday afternoon.
The
superintendent of Southern Local Schools said there were five names on the
list, including two teachers and three students.
Superintendent
Greg Holbert said the teachers on the list were immediately contacted, along
with the parents of the students whose lives were threatened.
"The kids
were scared. My kids were concerned, wondering who'd be doing it. They know all
the kids and teachers whose names was on the list," said Patricia Taylor,
a parent.
Taylor has
children in the 7th and 12th grades and said that while
the school was on lockdown, teachers met to try to figure out who wrote the
list on the restroom door.
Besides the
school resource officer, police officers were called to investigate.
An automated call
was made to parents, alerting them of the situation.
School officials
said it's the first time a death threat of this kind has been found at the
school.
The Perry County
Sheriff's Office said they're taking the threat seriously.
Anyone with
information on the hit list is asked to call the Perry County Sheriff's Office.
