District officials told Newell that it was a butter knife, but several teachers said it was actually a bladed knife.

Jeff Hubbard, the president of the Cobb County Association of Educators, said he believes the weapon was more than a butter knife.

“Respectfully say that is not correct, it was a bladed knife it was over two inches long,” Hubbard said. “I do know that the Cobb County school police came to do an investigation.”
