He did not have any weapons, police said. The student was taken into custody and transported to the Oakland County Children’s Village pending review of a juvenile petition by the Oakland County Prosecutors Office.
Threats and threatening statements should never be made, not even in a joking manner, police said.
"There are consequences for those who make these threats. Anyone who hears these types of threats or knows of a threat should make police and school officials aware, as was the case today," the Waterford Police Department said in a statement.
