Hit list found at Charleroi Middle School
Additional security will be in place starting today at Charleroi Middle School after a hit list containing student names was found in a school hallway.
According to a letter sent to parents and guardians from school district Superintendent Edward Zelich, a student found a handwritten hit list Thursday with middle school students’ names on it. The student gave the list to a teacher, who shared it with Principal Adam Brewer and the school’s resource officer.
Zelich said two students were found to be responsible for the creating the list, and immediate disciplinary action was served. Parents of students who were on the list were notified.
An investigation is underway by Charleroi Regional Police.
Zelich said mental health agencies and administration are working to determine students’ mental health needs.
