A Georgia teacher is accused of hiring a student to kill another student.

The alleged victim’s mother said her son came home frightened one day and told her that his tenth grade teacher, Randolph Forde had put out a hit on him.

It is believed that the alleged hit stemmed from a conversation the substitute teacher had with the Mundy’s Mill High School student.

Marcia Killebrew said her son told her “Ma, you are not going to believe this, but Mr. Forde offered another student money to kill me.”

Killebrew said the teacher had called her son out of the classroom one day and asked him if he was gay.

It is believed the student got angry at Forde’s assumption and the next day he got into a verbal altercation with his teacher, which he reported to the school.

Police said weeks after the altercation, Forde approached a Mundy’s Mill student getting off a school bus and told him he wanted him to kill another student.

Officers said the student asked Forde who he wanted him to rub out and Forde told him he would him know later.

Days later, Forde allegedly held a piece of paper with the victim’s name on it.

A lawyer for the teacher said the whole thing was a joke, his client was not serious.
