Boy near Cincinnati had ‘hit list,’ police say

MILFORD, Ohio (AP) — Police say a student has been removed from a junior high school outside Cincinnati after an officer received a report that the boy had a list of classmates he planned to kill.

Police Chief Steven Bailey of Miami Township says parents of the five Milford Junior High School classmates on the “hit list” have been notified, and the boy has been charged with aggravated menacing.

Bailey says the unidentified boy has been taken to a hospital because he had talked about harming himself.

Last week, officials at a private elementary school in Hamilton, northwest of Cincinnati, expelled a third-grader accused of making a hit list that included students and a teacher.
