5 Things To Know For Your New Day – Thursday, October 24
1. TEACHER KILLED
It’s happened again: A beloved math teacher is killed, allegedly by a student, for no obvious reason. This time, cops say 14-year-old Philip Chism beat 24-year-old Colleen Ritzer and then ditched her body in the woods behind their Massachusetts high school.
What did the boy do after Ritzer’s death? According to one source, he went to the movies. Prosecutors intend to try Philip as an adult for murder.
