The Secret Service is investigating a Rhode Island seventh-grader who wrote an essay saying his perfect day would include violence to President Bush.
The West Warwick student submitted the essay Tuesday, prompting his teacher to notify school officials.
Providence's Secret Service resident agent in charge, Thomas M. Powers, says the essay may have been a "cry for help." He added that threatening the president is a felony.
The unidentified student also wrote in the essay that he wanted to kill Oprah Winfrey, injure executives at Coca-Cola and Wal-Mart and attack a Walgreens pharmacy, police and school officials say to The Providence Journal.
"His perfect day would be to see the destruction of these people," Schools Superintendent David Raiche says.
He says the student believed the companies were acting inappropriately. Raiche says the student has been temporarily banned from school as a mental health precaution.
