An initial investigation has determined that calls made about an active shooter situation were set up by a Dakota High School student.
Around 1:30 p.m. April 19, Macomb County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to Dakota High School in Macomb Township for an active shooter incident.
“Multiple deputies responded and cleared the building finding no evidence of any type of shooting,” an April 20 Sheriff’s Office press release states. “All students and staff, who had gone into a school lock down, were safe and unharmed.”
Police say that dispatch received a call from a male stating he had been shot in his home. The male then gave Dakota’s address as the address where he had been shot. The caller then ended the call.

A resident told officers he was pulling into his driveway in the 20900 block of Yale at about 1:30 a.m. when a white vehicle neared. A male got out with a long gun and ordered him to hand over the keys to his vehicle; the victim dropped them on the ground then ran, police said.
The suspect failed to start the vehicle and fled the scene, but the victim called 911 and provided the description of the car he was in.
