Sad

From the San Fran Chronicle: An elementary school teacher was fatally stabbed while watching two dozen students play at a park during an outing that her school called "Fun Friday."

Long Beach police said Kellye Taylor, 53, was at a playground near the Huntington Academy when a man later identified as the father of her grandchildren came up from behind and attacked her around 1:30 p.m. Friday.

Officers arrested Steven Brown, 50, of Long Beach, soon afterward.

Investigators recovered the "sharp instrument" they believe Brown used, Sgt. Aaron Eaton said. Brown was taken to Long Beach's jail, where he was held on $1 million bail.

Witnesses told the Long Beach Press-Telegram that Taylor was stabbed in the neck while two dozen children played nearby. After she was attacked, some of the children ran back to the private school owned and operated by Taylor's family.

"How could they do something like this in front of these babies," Pamela Huffman, Taylor's younger sister who also works at the school, told the newspaper. "All I could do was run to her. I saw her slip away. I knew she wasn't going to make it."  http://www.sfgate.com/news/crime/article/Teacher-stabbed-in-front-of-students-in-Long-Beach-4890648.php

It's a shame this woman died but especially horrible when it was in front of a bunch kids.  These kids will be scarred forever and hope they don't replicate the thugs actions.
