Oxford, Mich. – On Sunday morning, Oxford High School’s school resource officer became aware of a threatening Snapchat stating, “come bring a gun to Oxford school.”
School officials say that after hours of investigations into this online threat, the author has not been identified, however, it is believed that neither the original sender or recipient are Oxford students.

Weaver reminds families of the armed security and strict visitor protocols in all school buildings in the district.
This is an active police investigation that does not appear to involve Oxford students, according to the message.
