Threatening Call Locks Down Northville High School

Northville High School was placed on lockdown on November 10 after the school received a menacing call by phone. Northville Public Schools told families that the call came about 15 minutes before an email was sent to parents and said the threat was not credible based on the information available at the time.

Northville Township police officers responded to the school to investigate. Officials said students would remain inside until they were cleared to leave. Police were also bringing in K-9 units to check the building as a precaution.

The district asked parents not to go to the school and directed them to Ward Church. Families were to be notified when they could arrive at the campus and collect their children. The district said it was preparing a broader communication for families.

Six Mile Road was closed between Beck and Sheldon while police were at the scene.
