Female SC Elementary Student Brought Knives To Hilton Head School Planned To Kill Boy ‘Crush’

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, SC. (THECOUNT) — Authorities in Hilton Head say a female elementary student brought two kitchen knives to her school and threatened to kill a boy who had a crush on another girl.

Citing a Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office report, The Island Packet reports the knives were found in the girl’s backpack last week by administrators at the Hilton Head Island School for the Creative Arts.

The report says a student told a second-grade teacher the girl had a knife and had said she planned to kill a boy who liked another girl.

A subsequent search of the girl’s backpack uncovered two blades, each about 4 inches long. The report says the girl told administrators that she packed the knives the night before because, “She was thinking about being mean to someone,” reports WYFF4.
