A Michigan teen accused of fatally stabbing a classmate was “smiling and laughing” during the attack, according to reports.

Two dozen students watched in horror as Tanaya Lewis, 17, killed Danyna Gibson, 16, with a kitchen knife in a classroom Wednesday at Fitzgerald High School in Warren, Mich., Fox 2 Detroit reported Friday.

“Witnesses said the defendant was smiling and laughing as she was chasing the victim,” Detective Donald Seidel of the Warren Police Department told a judge Friday, WXYZ-TV reported Saturday.

One blow penetrated Danyna’s heart, the station reported.

Prosecutors said Lewis screamed, “I’m going to kill her” as a teacher tried to shove her out of the classroom, according to the station.

Police said there was animosity between the two straight-A students over a boy.

Lewis is being held without bail on a capital murder charge.

She said "yes" to the judge when asked if she understood that she is facing life behind bars without parole.

“You would think at least one of the 24 students “watching in horror” could have maybe tried to intervene throw a book or chair or something at the girl.”

Or at least grab a video for utube. That is what they are supposed to do nowadays, no?

Well, that’s it. Time to ban heterosexuality.

Is the name of the victim pronoun Une-eh-cue?

BOTH straight A students? Somehow I feel this school is sub-standard.

Reminiscent of the March 13, 1964, “Kitty” Genovese rape/murder.Police found that at least 38 people had seen the attacks or heard Genovese scream, but no one intervened and just one woman called the police.

Cowardly, sick people are still with us!

"Police found that at least 38 people had seen the attacks or heard Genovese scream, but no one intervened and just one woman called the police."

I think if you look into the actual story you will find that this is a myth that we were sold back at the time. Fake news, from the New York Times, who knew.

Here's a new look at what really happened:

Her shocking murder became the stuff of legend. But everyone got the story wrong.

Not in my teenage years and I'm a big, badass FReeper now just like you.

[Gideon7]

Wasn’t that debunked?

[bgill]

That’s a straight A student? Must be very low standards like showing up for class and not killing someone gets an A. She blew that GPA.

[knarf]

Having been on a public school board, I’ll venture the guess those “straight A’s” were the result of extremely lowered “academic” standards.

[knarf]

Socialist teachers teaching socialist agendas do not constitute a real education.

I question the "straight A's"

[snarkytart]

Yes I bet it was jealousy.
