Macomb Co. Boy Charged With Threatening To Shoot Fellow Student: Cops

WARREN, MI — A teen can spend up to ten years in prison after threatening to kill a fellow student with a gun at a Warren middle school, according to the Macomb County Prosecutor's Office.

The 13-year-old boy was charged with intentional threat to commit an act of violence against school, school employee or students with specific intent to carry out or overt act, which is a ten-year felony.

The teen was placed in the Macomb County Juvenile Justice Center and denied bond. He will also receive a mental health evaluation. A Pre-Trial is scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 21 at 2:00 p.m. before Macomb County Referee George Keller.

Prosecutors said the teen threatened to bring a gun to school to kill another student Tuesday at Chatterton Middle School, following a fight the day before.

The teen told prosecutors he had access to a gun, according to the office.

"We take any threat made by a juvenile at school very seriously," Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido said. "Such actions not only endanger the safety of the student but also disrupt the entire educational environment. Our priority is to ensure the safety and well-being of all students, and we will vigorously pursue consequences to stop such behavior."

In a separate Warren incident, 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.
