A Pennsylvania elementary school teacher has been arrested after allegedly threatening to shoot district officials because janitors removed a plastic barrier he set up in his classroom to protect against the spread of COVID-19, reports say.
Chad Gerrick, an educator at Sinking Springs Elementary School in York, is charged with one misdemeanor count of terroristic threats, according to Fox43.
Last Friday, a cafeteria worker said she heard Gerrick threaten to “shoot all them f—–s” at the district’s administrative offices, the station reported, citing a criminal complaint affidavit filed by Northern York County Regional Police.
Gerrick also said if he contracted coronavirus, he would “come to school and spread COVID to everyone I can,” the police document reportedly added.
Police told Fox43 that the 50-year-old teacher was upset following a conversation he had with administrators over the removal of the plastic barrier he erected in his classroom.
