Trigger warning: mentions of violence, crime

An argument over an Easter egg hunt at a Michigan elementary school on Sunday (March 24) morning ended in a stabbing and an arrest for aggravated assault.

Sheriff’s deputies from the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office were called to Valley View Elementary in Springfield, outside of Battle Creek, after a man and his female partner got into a disagreement over the placement of Easter eggs for an activity that would take place later that day, according to a media release.

Highlights
  • An argument over Easter egg hunt planning led to a stabbing at a Michigan elementary school.
  • Deputies arrested a 36-year-old man who injured a relative with a knife over egg placement.
  • The incident occurred before children arrived for the event.

When they arrived at the scene, deputies saw the 36-year-old man wielding a knife.

It’s believed the man injured a relative who tried to intervene during the argument.

Deputies convinced the suspect to drop the knife and placed him into custody, authorities said. 

“The victim was treated on scene for some minor lacerations and is expected to make a full recovery,” the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office wrote in a Facebook post.

Police said that the violent attack took place before the children arrived for the egg hunt activity. No other injuries were reported.

“The world needs anger management classes,” someone commented

As a visual editor in the News team, I look for the most interesting pictures and comments to make each post interesting and informative through images, so that you aren't reading only blocks of text. I joined Bored Panda not that long ago, but in this short amount of time I have covered a wide range of topics: from true crime to Taylor Swift memes (my search history is very questionable because of that).In my freetime, I enjoy spending time at the gym, gaming, binging Great British Bake Off and adding yet another tattoo artist that I would love to get a tattoo from to my pinterest board.

Good thing the AH wasn't carrying a gun, the victim would have been dead over an egg.

You know, I realize that, as a citizen of the US, the likelihood of us ever having a national healthcare service is next to zero. However, I really wish we could at least have a nationalized mental healthcare program. Mental healthcare for all who need it. Because a lot of people need it.

Wish we would also address the things that are causing mass mental issues as well. Although it's important to fix poor mental health, it's also important to prevent poor mental health to begin with. One could even argue that it's more important. Better to never have been broken at all then to have been broken and fixed.
