After an investigation, Escanaba Public Safety found that there was no credible, tangible, or actionable threat after several public schools went into lockdown mode.

According to Escanaba Public Safety, information was gathered form a third party complainant who stated some remarks about guns and schools. No specific school, time, date, or intentions were mentioned to the complainant. This was reported to law enforcement for the safety of the students.

Law enforcement officials and school administrators took precautionary measures which included initiating their safety protocols with law enforcement agencies supplementing as another lay of security. Detectives are currently working with communication service providers to narrow down the originating caller and location.

Escanaba Public Safety wanted to recognize that social media played a role in some unnecessary fear among the students.
