High School Students Attempts To Murder Teacher Over Bad Grades, Sexually Assaults Her

high school student in Nevada has been arrested for allegedly assaulting and attempting to kill his teacher amid a classroom discussion about his grades.

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) said in a Friday press release that an unnamed 16-year-old student had been arrested on charges of attempted murder, sexual assault, battery with intent to commit sexual assault, first-degree kidnapping, and robbery.

Police said that the incident occurred on Thursday after the student entered the classroom to "talk about his grades." During the discussion, the student allegedly "got violent and began punching the victim and strangled her until she lost consciousness," according to the LVMPD release.

Officers arrived at Eldorado High School on Thursday afternoon and found a female teacher being treated for multiple injuries inside a classroom. Emergency personnel transported the teacher to a local hospital, where she was listed in stable condition.

The student fled the classroom following the alleged attack and was later found at a different location and taken into custody "without incident." He was then booked into Las Vegas' Clark County Detention Center. The teacher, whose name was not released, was discovered by another employee of the school.
