Two Grove City Area High School students have been charged with making terroristic threats for creating a “murder list” that included the names of 48 teachers and students.

A ninth grader, 15, and 11th grader, 17, will face the charges in juvenile court, according to a Grove City Borough Police report. No court date has been set at this time.

The charges were recommended by the district attorney’s office, the release stated.

In addition, the youths have also been suspended by the school district for a minimum of three days, according to superintendent Robert Post.

The school district was notified of the hit list last Friday when another student, whose name was on the list, informed principal Joseph Skibinski that she had seen it, Post said.

Skibinski called the two girls to his office and questioned them about the “murder list,” as it was labeled. He said both students were cooperative with the principal and showed him the list when asked.

While Grove City School District takes all threats seriously, Post said Skibinski believed the girls were not going to act on the hit list.

“(Skibinski) determined that the girls did not intend to hurt anyone,” Post said. “They had no means to act (on the list).”

Skibinski then called Grove City Borough Police, in accordance with school policy, Post said. Police interviewed the girls after classes ended that day.

The parents of both girls were also contacted immediately after the school district learned of the list, Post said.

Administration and guidance officials also attempted to contact all of the parents of the students on the hit list.

“Parents were surprised there was a list,” Post said. “They were concerned that their child’s names were on the list and they wanted to know what the school district was going to do.”

According to Post, school officials assured the parents that no one was in danger and that the girls had been questioned by police.

Teachers whose names were on the hit list were also informed, Post said, adding that most of them were shocked that the two girls were responsible.

“Teachers (who knew the girls) were surprised they would make that list,” Post said. “They’ve never been in trouble before.”
