Just one week into the school year police have dealt with what appeared to be a threat directed a Wayne County school and executed a probe that tracked down the source.

The school was placed on a lockdown Friday after an air-dropped message was received by some students at Romulus High School on their cell phones.

According to police, the message stated someone was “trying to come shoot up the school.”

Police said the school resource officer was already on the grounds and additional officers arrived to ensure everyone’s safety while an investigation into the anonymous threat was conducted.

Although the origin of the message was determined, police offered no information on the teen.

The threat was believed to have no credibility and police said students were not in danger.

As the lockdown remained in place, classes continued – preventing a setback in the educational process.

A police presence remained for the rest of the school day.

Officers thanked school officials for their “swift, no-nonsense reaction” to the threat and their partnership with the RPD to ensure the safety of all students.

Romulus police were commended by many on its social media page for addressing the issue publicly.

One person posting on the page commenting said hopefully the person responsible for the message will be “kicked out for the remainder of the school year.”

She said that person should be used as an example for others who think they can get away with such a disruption.

The incident hit home for Teri Dodd.

“My nephew’s school just got shot up in Georgia,” Dodd posted on social media. “Thankfully he wasn’t hurt. My granddaughter goes to Romulus high. She’s scared to even go to school. It’s time to punish parents for even a threat to harm another human being. Parents, be parents. Know what your child is doing.”

Police responded to the post saying, “In the interest of fairness, we do not think this was a deliberate attempt at a three-day weekend.”

Another person responding to the police department’s post said she trusts the Romulus Police Department, school staff and School Supt. Benjamin Edmondson.

Police Chief Robert Pfannes is encouraging any student or parent who receives any information that questions the safety of children in the district to contact school administrators, the district’s resource officer or police so the information can be vetted as soon as possible.
