Photographs of the four students killed in the shooting, sit among bouquets of flowers, teddy bears and other personal items at the makeshift memorial site outside Oxford High School in Oxford, Mich., Dec. 7, 2021."Even if you believe you make it through an anonymous social media account, law enforcement has ways to track you down and find you and when that happens, you're going to get charged," Savit said.
Prosecutors in Macomb County said five students are also facing charges of making threats against schools and another five students are facing similar charges in Macomb County, according to WXYZ. David Kimberly, the school district's police chief, said during a news conference on Wednesday that officials at Klein Cain High School received a string of threats of violence against the campus via social media on Monday and Tuesday.
