Several Oakland Schools facilities in Waterford Township were placed on lockdown Wednesday afternoon following an active shooter report authorities described as urgent in the area.
Multiple law enforcement agencies, including officers from Waterford Township Police and Detroit Police, are responding. Emergency vehicles were seen arriving near the campus at Pontiac Lake Road shortly after the initial alert was issued.
School officials initiated the lockdown as a precautionary safety measure, and students have been instructed to remain in classrooms while the situation is assessed.
At this time, no injuries have been reported, and authorities have not yet confirmed the nature of the incident. Police have not indicated whether there is an active threat to the public.
In a brief update, Waterford Township officials emphasized that families should avoid the area to allow emergency responders to work safely and effectively.
Parents are being urged not to come to the school until formal guidance is issued. District officials say they will communicate further instructions through official school messaging channels.
This is a developing story, and additional information will be released as soon as it is confirmed by law enforcement and the school district.
