LAWRENCE, Mass. -- A 17-year-old girl is arrested for allegedly posting death threats against 18 classmates around her school as well as on the Internet.

Katherine Koontz of Methuen is a junior at Central Catholic High School in Lawrence and got a lesson in the law during her arraignment at Lawrence District Court on Tuesday.

The suspect's hit lists were first found on March 28 and 29 inside school bathrooms. The letters said nine boys would be killed and one dismembered. In addition, nine girls were also threatened with impending doom.

Crying for attention or maybe she wanted to emulate the killer in the Boomtown Rats' song "I Don't Like Mondays"?

She was released on $45 bail.

WHAT?!?

BTW, for all those who constantly put down public school, this is a Catholic school girl.

I think it is obvious why her bail was only $45.

“Katherine Koontz’

Had a female fellow employee once whose last name was Coontz.
Someone told a newly-hired receptionist that the ‘oo’ in Coontz was pronounced ‘uh.’

When the new employee paged Coontz over the intercom to tell her she had an incoming phone call, the entire plant cracked up and the plant manager freaked.

WOW, good catch. We would not have known that there are also sinners in Christian schools. By the way, how many kids were killed in this school? /s
