MARSHALL, Mich. — Students at Marshall High School and Walters Elementary were dismissed early Friday after police received a call about possible gunshots nearby.
The Marshall Police Department says a call came in around 7:18 a.m. on Friday about possible gunshots near Marshall High School.
The school is next to Walters Elementary.
According to the department, officers were already on scene when the call came in but did not hear any gunshots.
Police say the school was placed on lockdown as a precaution and all students that were not already in the building were diverted to a secure location.
Police searched the area and buildings with help from the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office and Michigan State Police but did not find anything.
Though the report of gunshots was determined to be unfounded, both the elementary school and the high school dismissed students before noon and closed for the day.
