Overview
- School leaders called off the junior-senior prom roughly an hour before it was to begin on Tuesday after receiving a tip about a student possibly bringing a gun.
- The tip arrived through Michigan’s OK2SAY hotline and was relayed by the Michigan State Police, with officials classifying it as a “Planned School Attack.”
- District administrators consulted the school resource officer and Clinton Township police before cancelling the event to protect students and guests.
- Some students were already at the Blossom Heath Inn and were turned away, leaving families with emotional distress and out‑of‑pocket expenses while alumni and vendors set up fundraising and alternative plans.
- Clinton Township police say the threat remains under active investigation, the district has not decided on refunds or a rescheduled prom, and graduation will proceed with enhanced security measures.
