Multiple students charged in string of copycat threats after Oxford High shooting

Several students in Michigan have been hit with criminal charges alleging they posted online threats to stage copycat attacks like the one Oxford High School.

Several students in Michigan, including some in middle school, have been hit with criminal charges alleging they posted online threats to stage copycat attacks like the one eight days ago at Oxford High School in suburban Detroit that left four teenagers dead, authorities said.

"They are saying, 'I’m going to bomb the school. I’m going to kill people,'" Washtenaw County Prosecutor Eli Savit told ABC affiliate station WXYZ in Detroit.

Of the students charged, one faces a count of possession of a weapon in a school, authorities said.

Savit said most of the students thought they were making anonymous threats online.
