A Pennsylvania girl doused school security guards with gasoline and then attempted to light the victims on fire, according to investigators who have charged the teen with numerous felonies.
In retaliation for a run-in last week with a guard, Imani Knight-Brantley, 16, returned Monday to her Pittsburgh-area high school carrying a two-liter Sprite bottle containing gasoline.
According to police, Knight-Brantley was booted from Wilkinsburg High School Friday after being caught using a cell phone in class. She later returned to get food at an after-school program, but was again escorted from the building by guard Brandon Murray. As she was being removed the second time, Knight-Brantley threw a milk carton at Murray.
As detailed in a criminal complaint, Knight-Brantley confronted Murray upon returning to the school Monday. Police allege that she splashed gasoline on Murray and a second security official. As the guards grappled with Knight-Brantley, she tried to ignite the gasoline with an outdoor grill lighter.

My 7 year old grandson Christian has to attend a Pittsburgh school system school because he and his parents live a block into the city limits. The school IS close and has seemed ok but recently he came home upset because someone in his class...probably a ROP type ...complained that his name was offensive.
We’re waiting for clarification. At his age it could be anything...BUT...
Before he started school his parents were concerned that he was to impulsive. It was their first so they had no idea.
I realized right away he was a normal, above average intelligent BOY!
Turns out I was correct! He is so far ahead of everyone else in the school, in fact the entire school system, that he has been offered a paid transfer to an out of the system, “gifted” school.
Problem is this year there was no way to get him there in the mornings. Next year will be different since I am now sorta retired.
His parents could move but where they are now is walking distance to work, the school and only a few blocks from me and mrs p6 although we live in a different school district.
Got that same pissed-off look on ‘her’ face just like Kanye West. Nagger fatigue, got it...
The tat is just as off center as she is.
An Obamaphone,perhaps?
Ain’t LOVE grand?
So much hate.
Some people should be ashamed of what they foment.
Most likely mama is shacked up with a bf or three and daddy, if known, can’t be found or in prison and she was dumped onto grandma along with a half dozen cousins.
Wow. I’m guessing the parenting was/is pretty much nonexistent.
Black, nappy hair, neck tattoo, dead eyes.
I’m ...
...
... Shocked.
Seriously? That's a formal charge?
I guess setting the whole school on fire might be considered catastrophic ...
Naw, she had those dead eyes and smug look at 14. Noticed the article didn’t say what she’d been up to when she was “missing”... drugs, gang, boyfriend/boyfriends or maybe hiding out from a crime she thought would lead back to her.
LOL! Nothing quite like a misspelled tattoo.
They never work when you want them to.
Neck tattoo = unemployable for life.
Not that this would-be murderer had any career aspirations.
These stories always make me angry.
The leadership of our education system seems screwed up.
This should warrant nothing more than a teacher telling the little kid that’s alright, it’s his name.
Those that think immigration ROP members here is a good idea, don’t grasp what one little child member of the ROP can do on a whim.
I hope this works out well for the family.
The other school is a great option. I hope you can utilize it next year.
She’s obviously not had a loving parent in her life.
Yep, I wouldn’t doubt that.
None the less, they should be ashamed of what they have fomented.
