24 students charged for threats made against Metro Detroit schools

Students from several Metro Detroit schools are facing charges after authorities say they made threats against schools.

As of Thursday afternoon, 24 students have been charged with making threats, while one student was charged because he had a weapon at school.

These were separate instances and the threats were made toward schools around Wayne County. Threats against schools have cropped up in the week since the Oxford High School shooting, which left four students dead.

Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy released a statement about the flurry of school threats in the wake of the Oxford shooting. 

"We have charged 18 youth in the last few days with crimes relating to school threats. Much has been written about these types of cases lately yet still these serious events continue to happen," said Prosecutor Worthy. "Since 2018 this office has attempted to reach and educate every parent with our 'School Threat Letters.' The letter is translated into five languages. 

"Recently we have also sent the letters to all local media outlets. I have personally visited almost every jurisdiction in Wayne County. Quelling school threats is going to take the work of all of us. It is also going to take facing head-on the access our children have for guns and their fascination with them."
