PONTIAC (AP) — A bench trial has been granted for a 14-year-old Highland Township boy accused of threatening to kill everyone at his high school.
Judge Elizabeth Pezzetti agreed Monday to hold a bench trial on April 13 to determine the seriousness of the alleged threats the Milford High School freshman made last month.
The Detroit News reports the teen is accused of making a false threat of terrorism and use of a computer to commit a crime. He’s being prosecuted as a juvenile in Oakland County Probate Court.
Another student told police the teen said “he was going to shoot up” the school, comparing his plans to the 1999 Columbine High School massacre in Colorado.
Investigators say authorities removed nine firearms from his home.
The teen is being held in Children’s Village without bond.
