According to a student-run newspaper, The Gettysburgian, the victim’s parents say that they learned one student used a box cutter to scratch the n-word into the chest of another.
The incident allegedly happened on Sept. 6, but nothing came out about the situation until last week. Since this happened, students say the community has responded well. CBS21 News also spoke with Gettysburg Police who said they have not received any formal complaint and therefore, did not have any comments on the matter.
The statement mentioned that they filed complaints to the NAACP Harrisburg chapter and the NAACP Pennsylvania Conference citing that the school did not handle the situation correctly.
