Students Break Teacher’s Neck Over iPod
‘Police have arrested and charged two students Friday in an attack on a Germantown High School over an iPod, according to other students and police.
Officials said 60-year-old math and photography teacher Frank Burd broke two bones in his neck.
“You could hear it break. You could hear when he fell on the ground,” said Synquetta Reid, a student who saw the incident.
School officials said the teacher had taken an iPod from a student during class, and after class, two students were waiting in the hall for him. One student pushed him and another threw a punch.
“He fell … on his face. After that, they turned him over and there was all this blood,” Reid said.’
