Coworkers say the head cook at a Massachusetts middle school told them she had a hit list and would shoot up the school in an argument over burned cookies.

Police say Ferris then told the school nurse she had a hit list, the nurse being at the very top of it. While Ferris left a note on her front door and wouldn't talk to reporters, her neighbors supported her.

Ferris appeared in court Monday with her attorney where a judge read her the charge of threatening to commit a crime. Her attorney told reporters she denies the facts of the case. (Via ABC)

WLNE reports Ferris does have a license to carry a firearm and owns a 9mm handgun, but she was required to surrender it to police as a condition of her bail. She's on administrative leave with pay pending the investigation.
