Arlington teacher arrested for saying he would murder kids

ARLINGTON — A gym teacher at an Arlington elementary school was arrested this week, after telling another teacher he was “going to murder everyone’s children in the building and make them watch,” according to police reports filed in court Tuesday.

The other teacher reported he’d greeted Andrew Thomas Medley around 3:50 p.m. Thursday, in the gymnasium of Presidents Elementary School, the court papers say. Medley seemed agitated. The teacher asked how he was doing. Medley replied that he was not OK.

“I am going to murder everyone in the building,” he said, according to the police reports. “Scratch that, I am going to murder everyone’s children in the building and make them watch.”

Medley, 52, had gotten in trouble for making a sexual comment about little girls to other staffers, and he told the other teacher that the staff had betrayed him, according to the police reports. He was being placed on administrative leave for “inappropriate comments to school staff” and ordered not to return until he was told to come back, police wrote.

Thanks, Yo

"School staff called a non-emergency Arlington police number Friday to report the comment about murdering children.
They were trying to reach a school resource officer, but he was off-duty.
The call went nowhere.

Nobody at the school district called 911, Arlington spokeswoman Kristin Banfield said.

On Monday morning, a school district staffer called police again about the threats.

Gary Sabol, a school district spokesman, hesitated to say if the district could have handled things better.

“It all depends on the situation,” he said. “If it’s something that warrants calling 911, we will do that.”
