"On Wednesday, October 12, at approximately 12:45 p.m., the staff at St.

Stanislaus School released the following statement: Parents say they want to know who was on the "kill list" and more importantly, why. We are not naming the teacher because she has not been officially charged. The school has an e-learning day on Friday. You all did a background check - unless you all didn't." Like, what type of person says that?" said Quiannis Jones. "She said that these kids get on her nerves so much that she wanted to kill them. In an email to parents, the school never mentioned threats or a kill list.

Parents are upset with how the school went about informing them of the incident. "You let somebody leave who's making accusations and confirming them," said parent Kirsten Saldivar. "They should have called the police right then and there." "They should have never let her walk out them doors," said Quiannis Jones. Police then arrested the teacher at her home in Griffith late Thursday morning. On Thursday, police obtained an emergency detention order for the teacher from Lake County, Indiana prosecutors. Police were notified about four hours later, after the teacher was allowed to leave. The school's principal told the teacher to leave the school and not return pending an investigation. The teacher named a specific student on her list, but did not provide the list. The teacher allegedly admitted to making the comment and confirmed she had a "kill list," police said. East Chicago police said after Portia, the counselor, and the second student reported the threats to the principal Wednesday afternoon, the teacher was immediately escorted to the principal's office to discuss the matter.
