WESTLAND, Mich. (CBS DETROIT) — Police say no weapons were found after they were alerted to a potential threat on Wednesday at John Glenn High School in Westland.
In a message to parents, school officials said they were notified of a student possibly bringing a weapon to school, prompting a soft lockdown at John Glenn High School and William D Ford Career-Technical Center.
A school spokesperson said police did not find a credible threat to students, staff and facilities.
“Ensuring the safety and security of our school community is our highest priority. We extend our sincere appreciation to the Westland Police Department for their prompt and professional response,” spokesperson Jenny Johnson said in a statement.
Police in Southeast Michigan have been responding to multiple threats of violence at schools.
In Oakland County, three students were charged for allegedly making a threat against South Lyon East High School. The Oakland County Sheriff’s Office said the charges stem from separate social media posts made on Sept. 8.
