On November 3, 2022, at approximately 11:00 am, school administrators at West Clermont Middle School, located at 1341 Clough Pike, Batavia Township , were made aware of an 6th grade student who was displaying a list of names, to include students, whom he plan to harm. Administrators initiated an investigation then immediately contacted the Clermont County Sheriff’s School Resource Officer, who was on campus. Based on information received, the school staff conducted a search of the student’s property and recovered the list of names from the student.
The SRO took possession of the list of names and contacted the Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigative Unit, who responded to the middle school for further investigation. The student told detectives he had made a “hit list” but further stated he had no intentions of carrying it out.
The male student, age 11, was removed from the school and released to his parents. Detectives have confirmed the student did not have means or access to any firearms.

On 10/16/22, the Clermont County Communications Center received a call from a concerned parent in reference to a Clermont Northeastern Middle School student, age 11, who allegedly had a list of people titled “people who make me mad” and told a number of students that he had a gun. The reporting parent learned of this from her 11 year old son while they were at a birthday party with friends.

During the investigation, it was confirmed the student had no weapons or access to any weapons.
