Officials urge community to report threats, not repost them

The Kent County Sheriff's Department is encouraging people to report, not repost information they see online that could be a safety concern for schools.

Byron Center Public Schools canceled classes Monday after a rumored threat of violence on social media over the weekend.

On Friday night, a school resource officer confiscated a pocket knife from a student at the Byron Center and East Kentwood football game.

The interaction started a rumor that spread online.

The rumor started on Snapchat and was spread to Facebook before it was reported to officials.
