MARSHALL, MI (WNWN/WTVB) – Marshall High School and neighboring Walters Elementary School had to be placed on a lock down Friday morning after there was a report of “shots fired” near the high school.
The lock down was ordered just as students were arriving for school.
An investigation found the report was not valid and there was no threat to students and staff members.
Marshall Police along with the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office and the Michigan State Police responded.
The situation was complicated further when some people took to social media and posted conflicting and in some cases false reports.
Officials for Marshall Public Schools have been unavailable for comment.
Marshall Police say they will be handling the investigation into the incident.
