Six Michigan juveniles charged for allegedly threatening violence against schools in wake of Oxford shooting

Six teenagers in Michigan are facing charges for allegedly making violent threats against multiple schools and another has been charged for allegedly possessing a weapon in a school zone, the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office announced Saturday. The charges come days after a shooting at a high school in Oxford, Michigan, that left four students dead and seven other people wounded. 

"There is a stranglehold on Southeastern Michigan now," prosecutor Kym Worthy said in a statement Saturday. "Thankfully, these matters were all thwarted and no one was harmed. While the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office has always tried to be vigilant and proactive in these cases, it does not mean that it will not continue to occur."

Those charged range from 13 to 15 years old. Six were charged with making a false report or threat of terrorism and another, a 13-year-old, was charged with possession of a weapon is a school weapon free zone. None of the teenagers were identified, as they have not been charged as adults.
