Boy Charged in Naperville School Knife Incident

Police have charged a boy for brandishing a knife outside Hill Middle School April 8, The Chicago Tribune reports.

The boy, who does not attend Hill, faces two misdemeanor offenses: assault and aggravated assault, according to state’s attorney spokesman Paul Darrah. He said the assault charge was issued for allegedly showing (the) knife while the aggravated assault was for bringing the knife onto school property.

Parents of students at both Hill Middle School and Brookdale Elementary, which is just a few blocks away from Hill, were concerned they were not notified about the event. An email from Hill Principal Mike Dutdut and Brookdale Principal Mary Howicz explained the situation to parents.

“I am aware there are rumors circulating of an alleged knife being brought to school,” reads the email message sent to parents from Dutdut and Howicz. “School administrators became aware of allegations that a student brought a weapon to school and immediately contacted the Naperville police. No weapon was found.”
