Salisbury, North Carolina - A 13 yr-old teen has been charged with communicating threats after a note containing a hit list of potential targets for murder were found in a bathroom at Knox Middle School in Salisbury, North Carolina. The list contained the names of several students and a teacher and was titled "187 List". The phrase "187" is known to mean murder among gangsta rap circles. The term was made popular by rapper Snoop Dog and Dr. Dre who rapped about killing an undercover cop on the 1992 track "Deep Cover" also known as "187".
The song was released by the recording company "DeathRow Records" which has been alleged to have been a CIA front company by John Potash, author of the book "The FBI War on Tupac Shakur and Black Leaders: U.S. Intelligence's Murderous Targeting of Tupac, MLK, Malcolm, Panthers, Hendrix, Marley, Rappers and Linked Ethnic Leftists". DeathRow is most known for one of the labels artists, the late Tupac Shakur and its controversial front man Shug Knight.

The Salisbury Police Department issued a statement which said they did not if the list was a joke or a real plot to murder students and a teacher but said they are taking it serious. The student who allegedly wrote the hit list has not been named.
