2 Macomb Co. MS Students Arrested After Making 'Death Threats': Police

WARREN, MI — Two Warren middle school students are facing charges after making death threats at school earlier this week, according to police.

An 11-year-old girl was arrested Monday after Carter Middle School officials found a "death list" with multiple students' names that the girl had written, according to police.

Officials suspended the girl, who is now waiting for a mental health exam, according to police.

The girl's mother immediately responded to the school and is cooperating with the investigation, according to police.

A 13-year-old boy was also arrested Tuesday after making death threats at Chatterton Middle School, according to police.

Police said the boy sent threats to a student he had fought on Monday. Officers found a 9 millimeter handgun and a BB replica firearm at the boy's home, according to police.

After police finish their investigation, they will turn over their findings to the Macomb County Prosecutor's Office who will determine if charges will be filed.

"I commend the swift action and job done by our officers and detectives," Warren Police Commissioner William Dwyer said. "I also want to remind parents, especially following the Jennifer Crumbley verdict, that parents have to be aware and responsible for their children’s actions to ensure that the classroom is a safe environment for everyone’s children."
