BRISTOL, Conn. -- Parents of children who attend a Bristol elementary school expressed outrage at a list a fourth-grade student is accused of making.

Channel 3 Eyewitness News reporter Erika Arias reported that a teacher at Edgewood Elementary School found a note made by a fourth-grade student that divided students into two lists.

According to parents, one of the lists was titled "Friends," and the other "Kill."

Arias reported that the list was allegedly found weeks ago, and parents were informed Thursday night and Friday morning.

James Bernier's son is a student at the school and said he was outraged that he wasn't told about the list earlier.

"I sat down with the principal this morning, and she told me that, yes, in fact, there was a student with a list that had students to kill," Bernier said. "I asked her what was being done, and she said that it was a bit of a misunderstanding."

Bernier's wife Tammy said she is also questioning why parents weren't informed earlier.

"I think immediately they should have sent out a notice to every single parent in that school and made them aware of it and that they were going to address the situation -- even if they didn’t say how they were going to address it, at least notify us," Tammy Bernier said. "Give us that option rather than finding out at the bus stop."

In a written statement to Eyewitness News, the school's principal, Angela Rossbach, said the school's students were never in danger.

"It was determined that there was no danger to our students," Rossbach said. "We're making every effort to reassure parents that Edgewood is a safe place for our children."

Rossbach did not say whether the student that is accused of making the list was disciplined. Parents of the school's children told Eyewitness News that the accused student was in class every day this week except for Friday.
