SCHOOL PLOT FOILED 3 teens planned mass murder in Mich., police say
Three southeast Michigan teenagers, including one from West Bloomfield and another from Wolverine Lake, are in custody after allegedly conspiring to carry out mass shootings at two Genesee County schools.
Argentine Township police turned the evidence over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation where agents immediately began to investigate.
18 year-old Ryan Stevens, and 15 year-olds Lamar Dukes and Cody Brewer all face felony charges for the foiled attempt on Linden High School and Middle School.
Argentine Township police say they were made aware and acted upon information they had received that there was a plan circulating about a school shooting that was to take place at Linden High School and Linden Middle School. After a few preliminary investigation, the information was forwarded to the FBI.
Allen said more charges could be filed.
Chief Daniel Allen told NBC affiliate WEYI: ‘The info that we’ve gathered is they had access to weapons and they were planning to purchase weapons as well’. He is a former Linden student, but Allen had few other details on the teens’ connection to the schools.
Schools Superintendent Russ Ciesielski said in a statement the district determined police had control of the situation and no lockdown was required. Both schools are about 50 miles northwest of Detroit.
