Local police in South Carolina are investigating separate threats made on the very same day by two preteen girls to shoot up their respective elementary schools.
On Wednesday, a 10-year-old girl at Kensington Elementary in Georgetown was charged with a student threat after saying “she wanted to bring a firearm to school and kill several students,” the Georgetown Police Department said in a Facebook post.
Hours earlier, police reported that an 11-year-old girl at neighboring McDonald Elementary school had made a similar threat after an argument with another student. Both girls’ homes were searched after they were charged, police said, finding weapons in a locked safe in the 10-year-old’s house and none in the 11-year-old’s house.
