Investigators determined that a 10-year-old student had fabricated the entire story, they said. That student had been suspended for bringing a knife to school earlier in the day, according to officials.
The incident caused the release of students at Maltby Intermediate School and Hornung Elementary School to be delayed, authorities said.
Michigan State Police said charges for false report or threat of terrorism will be sought against the student.
