(WWJ) Police are investigating an alleged threat to burn down Clawson High School.
In a note to parents, the school's principal said a special education student posted a message on social media on Monday that read: "I wanna lit (sic) the school on fire."
School officials have since identified the student who made the alleged threat. Police are investigating, the principal said, adding that "appropriate action will be taken."
At this time, it's unclear if criminal charges are possible, or what other consequences the student may face.
The Clawson Police Department is not releasing any details, but said that everyone is cooperating with their investigation.
No information details about the student, including his or her age, were released.
