Rumor of Student with Gun is Second in 2 Days at Plymouth Schools

By Beth Boehne

(SBT24/7News) Plymouth school officials dealt with another gun rumor Tuesday morning, the second in two days at the local schools.

This time, Menominee Elementary School officials heard a report that a student had a gun in his book bag at a bus stop.

Michael Dunn, Menominee principal, said Tuesday morning a plastic, orange cap gun was found with the student.

Dunn said he and Plymouth police officers met with the student. A letter also was to be sent home to students’ parents Tuesday concerning the incident.

On Monday, school officials dealt publicly with a rumor that began last Thursday after a female student at Plymouth High School allegedly threatened to take a gun to school and shoot three other students, all male, if they didn’t stop harassing her in class.

Jim Condon, high school principal, said the female student’s comment about shooting the other students was made in anger. School officials contacted all four students’ parents, he said, and a meeting among school officials, local, county and state police took place to quell the rumor.

Dunn said the incident at Menominee Tuesday was a result of small children "doing stupid things."
