Rochester Hills Middle Schooler Suspended For Making 'Kill List'

ROCHESTER, MI — A 14-year-old student of the Rochester School District has been suspended and will receive a mental health evaluation after reportedly making a "kill list" at her school.

Authorities started investigating the incident on Dec. 4 when West Middle School students reported that a fellow student, a girl from Rochester Hills, had made a "Kill List for Future" with at least five names on it. The teacher reportedly saw the girl writing more names and the teacher cleared the classroom and notified authorities.

Police said the student admitted to making the list and said that it was a way to vent her frustration and feelings. She said she didn't want to follow through with the list and agreed to mental health assistance, police said.

Police searched the student's home for weapons and did not find any. She was released back to her parents who said hey would petition the hospital for a mental health evaluation. A juvenile petition will also be forwarded to the Oakland County Prosecutor’s Office for review, The Oakland County Sheriff's Office said.
