‘Kill them all’: Text messages between two Mississippi teachers prompts investigation

OKOLONA, Miss. (WCBI) – Conversations between two teachers – in which they discussed “killing some folks” – at one Mississippi school district has prompted an investigation.

A student took pictures of the text messages reportedly sent back and forth between the two teachers at Okolona Middle School in Okolona, Mississippi, discussing children’s clothing, their parents’ financial hardships, and the sexual relations of another faculty member.

One of the messages reportedly even shows where the two teachers talk about “killing some folks.”

One message says, “Kill them all… I’ll help hide the bodies.”

Okolona Superintendent Paul Moton said personnel matters are not discussed with the public, but believes that the actions of those teachers do not reflect the culture of the school district.

“Okolona is still the premium school district in Chickasaw County and thriving to be one of the best in North Mississippi. We still have a goal to be an A-rated district and this potentially isolated incident does not deviate us from our goals,” said Moton.

According to the superintendent, the incident is still under investigation.

A decision on whether action will be taken is expected to come next week.
