GAINES TOWNSHIP, Mich. — A 911 call made by a teacher while fireworks were set off inside a Gaines Township school has been released to the public.
Late last month, a report of shots fired at East Kentwood Freshman Center was made with deputies, according to the Kent County Sheriff’s Office (KCSO).
Authorities quickly discovered the source of the noise was fireworks set off by a 14-year-old student inside a bathroom, deputies explain.
No one was hurt.
