[catlist id=100371 numberposts=5] At about 5pm Wednesday, officers from the East Chicago Police Department were sent to speak with the principal and vice principal of St. Stanislaus School, about 20 miles south of downtown Chicago, in reference to a looming report on school officials heard earlier in the day about teacher Angelica Carrasquillo-Torres, a 25-year-old teacher from Griffith, Indiana.
“At approximately 12:45 p.m. a 5th grade student told his/her Counselor that their 5th grade teacher made comments to him/her about killing herself, students, and staff at St. Stanislaus School,” East Chicago Police Department said in a statement released on social media. “The teacher further told the student that she has a list and that he/she was on the bottom of that list.”
School officials said the teacher was immediately escorted to the principal’s office to discuss the disturbing incident and later admitted to making the statements to the student, also confirming that she had a ” list to kill”.
“During the conversation the teacher named a specific student on her list, but did not provide the list,” authorities confirmed. “The Principal then advised the teacher to leave and not return to school pending an investigation.”
The East Chicago Police Department said it was not notified by the school until about four hours after the incident and the teacher was allowed to leave the premises freely. However, as soon as officers were notified, they immediately notified CID, who obtained an emergency arrest warrant for the housekeeper from the Lake County District Attorney’s Office.
Carrasquillo-Torres was taken into custody without incident by the East Chicago Police Department around 11:15 a.m. Thursday.
It’s unclear if Carrasquillo-Torres has been provided with an attorney, but the investigation is ongoing and authorities said no further details about the case or statement about the incident are being released at this time.
