A Council Bluffs high school math teacher accused of writing anonymous notes left at the school threatening a school shooting is no longer with the district.

Katrina Phelan, 37, turned herself in to authorities Wednesday after a warrant was issued for her arrest on three counts of threats of terrorism. Each charge carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison, police said.

Officials said they had been investigating several notes found in Phelan’s classroom at Abraham Lincoln High School or found by Phelan herself in other locations at the school. The notes were handwritten and all made “reference to committing gun violence upon school property,” police said in a news release.

In at least one of the notes, police said, Phelan posed as an anonymous student and wrote that she was “tired of being made fun of.”

She was hit repeatedly with an ugly stick. Guilty.

The jury has seen enough evidence to render a verdict.

She couldn’t recall writing the notes? Seriously? Do we have a DID situation, here? Is she losing time?

Geeze. Honestly, I think people commit these hoaxes to draw attention to the issue and think people will be dumb enough to take it seriously. In this case, I assume she wanted more gun control.

But that’s all I can do; assume.
