Michigan schools hit by hoax calls, police investigate swatting threats

An anonymous threat prompted a lockdown at Wyandotte Middle School in Clinton Township shortly after the school year began, with police securing the premises as students and staff remained indoors. This incident was part of a series of similar hoax calls targeting multiple Michigan schools, traced to the same out-of-state phone number. Clinton Township police are investigating the false threats, and Michigan lawmakers are considering bills to classify swatting as a felony, potentially resulting in up to four years in prison and additional penalties if injuries occur.
