A South Carolina 7-year-old brought a knife to school on Wednesday and threatened to kill his classmates and teacher because he was inspired by the movie "Chucky," according to a local sheriff's office. The student, who is 7-years-old, allegedly brought a 12-inch-long knife to Cherryvale Elementary School in Sumter, South Carolina, on Wednesday and threatened his teacher and classmates, according to the Sumter County Sheriff's Office. When the student was asked why he brought the knife to school , he said that "he wanted to kill the teachers and then the students by stabbing them in the heart," officials said.
