Hit Lists in Schools

Since I am going to be a teacher I know that I'm probably going to face situations in the school where there is going to be a problem with a group of kids and a hit list, and that scares me. I honestly don't know how I would handle it. I would probably pull the child aside who started the hit list, and try to talk to him/her. I would try to find out what was bothering them, and try to help. If not, I would just go to the administration, so that they could figure out a policy to keep the school safe, and bring this issue to the students' attentions. For the most part, my old high school was pretty safe. There was never any situations where there were hit lists are bomb threats. I think that if there was a hit list, or for other schools with hit lists, I think it should be taken very seriously. You don't know how serious the child who created it is, and I think it is important for a school to be prepared for that type of situation.
