FORT WORTH, Texas -- About 10 elementary school students received minor cuts Tuesday after taking razor blades to their arms.
According to school officials, one third-grader may have suffered an inch-long cut to her forearm.
In a letter to parents, Principal Sonja Starr-Whitaker wrote, "A third-grade student brought several double-edged razors to school today. Reportedly she passed out the razors to at least two students so they could all get 'tattoos.'"
Starr-Whitaker also said an ambulance was called to the school, but that no children were transported to the hospital.
According to the letter, officials would take disciplinary action against the students involved.
