LAPEER, Mich. (AP) - Authorities say two teenagers are facing charges following threats of violence involving a Michigan middle school that were made in text messages.
The Flint Journal reports (https://bit.ly/2kUm3LV ) the 14- and 15-year-old students were charged this week under the state’s anti-terrorism act with making a terroristic threat, using a computer to commit a crime and conspiracy to commit terrorism.
The charges come after authorities say one of the students sent text messages to a friend threatening to commit “mass murder” at Zemmer Middle School in Lapeer County’s Mayfield Township.
