OTSEGO, Mich. (WOOD) — After receiving two threats in a week, Otsego Public Schools was closed Thursday.
“The emotions are very high,” Superintendent Jeff Haase said. “The anxiety is very high.”
He said the motto “see something, say something” worked in this case.
On Monday afternoon, an Otsego High School senior on a school bus made a specific threat.
“The threat was made as far as shooting students here at the high school,” Haase said.
The student said the assault would happen Thursday during third period. That never happened thanks to a student who reported the threat to high school administrators.
Police were called. They found the threat credible and arrested the student who made it, Haase said.
Then Wednesday night, another threat was made on social media app Snapchat. Students were warned not to go to school Thursday because something dangerous was going to happen.
