Three first-grade girls at an Anchorage, Alaska, elementary school allegedly planned to kill a fellow classmate using silica gel — the “do not eat” pouches packaged with electronics, according to the Alaska Dispatch News.
All three students were caught and suspended from Winterberry Charter School.
The girls had reportedly planned to take silica gel packets, which are labeled “Do Not Consume,” place them in a classmate’s lunch on March 22. They didn’t realize that silica gel — a drying agent used to keep packaged goods fresh — is actually not poisonous.
Their plan was foiled when two students alerted an adult about the plot.
No criminal charges have been filed against the students. The school district continues investigating and the offending children could be expelled, a district spokeswoman said.
