'Imma Shoot Up The School Tomorrow': Oakland County Students Charged In Threats: Police

SOUTH LYON, MI — Three students are facing charges in connection with threats to shoot up an Oakland County high school, according to the Oakland County Prosecutor's Office.

Two South Lyon East High School students were charged with false report of threats of terrorism, and a third student was charged with intentional threats to commit acts of violence against a school, school employees or students.

Officials did not identify the students or provide their ages or genders.

Prosecutors said after school Monday a South Lyon East student shared with a teacher a screenshot of a post stating, '[G]uys imma shoot up the school tomorrow.'"

The teacher then showed the post to school officials, who then immediately launched an investigation, according to prosecutors.

During the investigation, two more posts were posted in the same group chat indicating '“'I’m going to blow up the school,'" according to prosecutors.

At least 10 students received the messages, according to prosecutors.

Before police charged the students in connection with the threats, the three students were banned from all school facilities in the district during the investigation, according to prosecutors.

"Parents and kids should feel safe at school," Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald said. "These threats directly impact students, teachers, and staff, and they also undermine our entire community's confidence in the safety of our schools. It's not a joke, and the charges we issued will ensure that these students face appropriate consequences."

Over the weekend, a 15-year-old girl was arrested after threatening to shoot up her school in Monroe County, according to the Monroe County Sheriff's Office.
