ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Channel 9 has learned a young girl with a knife threatened another student at Pine Hills Elementary School on Monday and she's only seven years old.

The sheriff's office has not said what charges might be filed against the second-grade girl. Both children involved in the classroom incident were taken home by their parents Monday.

"A knife," fellow student Javon told Eyewitness News.

Javon said he saw it all in his second-grade classroom, a classmate making a death threat before the weapon was found.

"She said that she told this girl in class that she was gonna kill the other girl," Javon said.

The school district would not provide any details of the incident, but the sheriff's office said it was a four-inch pairing knife that was found when school officials searched the girl's backpack.

Renee Harris cares for more than half a dozen kids with a after school child care program at Pine Hills Elementary. She said it was no surprise.

"Unfortunately, no, it doesn't surprise me, because it's happening more and more. Parents have got to teach their kids before they send them out," Harris said.

In the last few weeks, Superintendent Ron Blocker sent a warning by telephone to parents in the district that if students were found with weapons there would be strict penalties.
