ATLANTA (Reuters) - Nine-year-olds at a school in the U.S. state of
Georgia brought a broken steak knife, handcuffs and electrical tape to
school in a plot to injure their teacher, authorities said on Tuesday.

Teachers at Center Elementary School in Waycross, Georgia, uncovered
the plot on Friday when a pupil reported that a child in the third
grade had brought a weapon into the school.

“The plan was to handcuff the teacher, put tape over her mouth and
hit her over the head with the paperweight and possibly cut her,” said
Lt. Duane Caswell of Waycross police, adding that some students said
the knife was simply there to cut the tape. (read more)
