A 15-year-old student at Clarkston Junior High School in Oakland County, Michigan, has been arrested and charged with domestic terrorism after allegedly writing a note threatening to shoot up the school, authorities said. A juvenile court has since detained the teen ahead of her hearing, denying release on a tether over concerns that she could pose as "a flight risk and a danger to society," according to the Oakland County Sheriff's Office.

Officials stated that the note, discovered by another student on a paper towel in the school bathroom, was reported to school administrators on Thursday, leading to the deployment of deputies who searched the premises before shifting the school from a "secure mode." The investigation concluded that neither the girl nor her parents had access to firearms, giving weight to the claim that the threat was "non-credible." Nonetheless, the sheriff's office is committed to fully investigate and enforce accountability measures for such actions.

The Oakland County juvenile court invoked a charge of domestic terrorism for the incident, setting the next court hearing for April 18. A secure mode was imposed at the school for about an hour on Thursday as the matter was assessed by law enforcement, reported The Detroit News.

Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard underscored the department's vigilance: "This particular threat was deemed to be non-credible, but we will always to fully investigate and seek to hold the perpetrator accountable," he told ClickOnDetroit. Classes continued as scheduled after the incident, and students were dismissed at the usual time.

According to WWJ Newsradio 950, the accused girl, a resident of Pontiac and not named due to her age, remains detained at Oakland County Children's Village, a Pontiac juvenile detention center, pending the outcome of her upcoming hearing.
