“A Louisiana gym teacher threatened to shoot his third-grade class, warning students that some ‘would not survive’ – though he didn’t have enough bullets for all of them, according to police. Robert Mitcham, 70, was arrested last week and charged with terrorizing after allegedly telling the youngsters that he ‘had bullets for his gun and he would bring it to the school and shoot,’ and said ‘some of the students would not survive,’ the Union Parish Sheriff’s Office said on Facebook. ‘It was additionally learned that Mitcham allegedly further told the students that there was ‘too many of y’all to get rid of,’ and he ‘only had six bullets in his gun,” the sheriff’s office said. According to the release, Mitcham told deputies after the Sept. 10 incident that he ‘felt overwhelmed and just wanted the children to settle down,’ and maintained he wasn’t threatening them.” (09/17/24)
