HASTINGS, Mich. — Hastings Area Schools are closed Friday due to an unconfirmed threat.

The Hastings Area School System says school officials learned about an unconfirmed threat Thursday night.

Out of an abundance of caution, school officials decided to close the schools, including the CERC and daycare, while law enforcement finishes its investigation.

The Hastings Police Department (HPD) says they looked into several threats implying gun violence on social media.

We're told all schools are closed while investigations proceed until it is deemed safe to return.
