The terror of the Oxford High School mass shooting is still weighing on Michigan schools with several districts announcing the cancellation of classes for the remainder of this week.
It was the case in Oakland County, Metro Detroit, and Southfield School Districts after reports of threats and disturbing social media emerged adding to the Tuesday massacre’s shock.
“There have been rumors circulating on social media indicating that other high schools may be at risk of experiencing a tragedy similar to the one that occurred recently at Oxford High School,” Rochester Schools said in a statement.
“At Rochester Community Schools, we take all threats very seriously.”
Similar statements were issued by the Troy and Holly schools citing “multiple reports of potential shooting threat on social media.”
“At this point, our police department has deemed the threat not credible due to a lack of evidence.
But given the extraordinary circumstances, we would like to take the next two days to ask our community to please share any information regarding any threats with school administration,” the Holly schools said.
At Southfield’s alternative high school, a senior student was caught with a weapon on Wednesday. Authorities confiscated the weapon without incidents.
