The 11-year-old girl, whose name was withheld because of her age, slipped the handwritten threat under the door of the assistant principal's office.

"I will bring a gun to school to kill all of you ugly *** kids and teachers *****. I will bring the gun Feb. 15, 18. Be prepared ****!" the note warned.

In addition to surveillance footage that captured the young girl delivering the note, she also admitted doing it in a written confession, Local10.com reported.
