  • Romulus Community Schools in Romulus, Mich., postponed its homecoming football game and dance after receiving what district officials described as credible threats of possible violence. Superintendent Ben Edmondson said a student reported a potential shooting and alleged gang activity connected to the Friday night celebrations.
  • Edmondson said he learned of the threat around 1:30 p.m. Friday after the high school principal contacted him. Despite months of planning, district leaders decided to postpone both events to protect students and staff. School Board President Porsche Laster supported the decision, emphasizing student safety.
  • The homecoming dance was rescheduled for the following Saturday. Edmondson said attendance at the rescheduled football game would be restricted to players and their parents. A parent whose daughter had previously experienced a shooting incident at a football game supported the postponement but called for stronger security measures at future events.
