GILLETTE, WYOMING - Officials say two students at a Gillette high school will be disciplined for recording a rap song about watching a teacher die.

The boys' names were not released. They recorded a rap album which they sold to other students at Campbell County High School North Campus.

Police say one of the songs described watching a physical education teacher die, and that the students also rapped about shooting up the school.

Lt. Sawley Wilde says prosecutors declined to charge the boys because the threats weren't credible. Still, Associate Superintendent Boyd Brown says the teens will face disciplinary action.
