Lowell Librarians May Have Chatted Online At Work About Killing A Colleague

LOWELL (CBS) - Lowell's city solicitor is looking into whether public librarians used city equipment to ridicule someone and discuss killing that person.

Beth Brassel and Molly Hancock could be in a lot of trouble, but the librarians aren't accused of having an overdue book. 

A report in the Lowell Sun says the two used city computers to instant message each other back in April to complain about a colleague. Transcripts of the chat conversation have been given to the city solicitor's office. 

Reportedly, the two complained about how a colleague would not stop talking and the two women even chatted about killing the other woman.

While the city investigates, the union representing the three woman (the two librarians and the their colleague) is looking at the situation.
