SOUTH LYON (WWJ) — In only the second week of class, three Oakland County students are in trouble for allegedly making violent threats against their school.
Administrators in the South Lyon Community Schools District say a student posted on social media Monday night that they were going to shoot up South Lyon East High School.
One message read: “Guys imma shoot up the school tomorrow.”
Another student reported the comments to a teacher, who contacted police.
Oakland County Sheriff’s deputies met with the student and families involved and the student was banned from all school property in the district, officials said, in an email.
Further into the investigation, deputies discovered two more students posted similar comments. Those students were also removed from the school building, the district said.
No one was hurt.
It’s not yet clear if the students will face criminal charges, although school officials say the situation is being taken seriously.
