A fifth-grade teacher is in police custody in Indiana after admitting to having a kill list featuring at least one student.
The East Chicago Police Department has detained Angelica Carrasquillo-Torres, 25, as of Thursday, according to a Facebook post. Police were able to obtain an emergency detention order after speaking to St. Stanislaus Elementary School Principal Angelica Foy and Assistant Principal Zayra Salinas, who reported Carrasquillo-Torres for admitting to them that she had a kill list.
One student from Carrasquillo-Torres's class alerted a counselor around 12:45 p.m. that the teacher had threatened the student by saying their name was at the bottom of her kill list. Carrasquillo-Torres had also alluded that more students, teachers, and herself were included on the list. When she was subsequently brought in for questioning by Foy, the principal decided to send the teacher home indefinitely based on her confession alone, without having seen the supposed list.
Carrasquillo-Torres has since been removed from the school's website. The Catholic school, named after the patron saint of Poland, did not respond to the Washington Examiner's request for comment. Its mission, according to its site, is to lead students"to Christ by deepening their faith, building their self-worth, and encouraging their service to the community."Lake County Prosecutor Bernard A.
