Snapchat threat closes Warren Mott High School on Monday

WARREN, Mich. (CBS DETROIT) - Warren Mott High School closed Monday after an alleged threat was posted to social media.

Superintendent Robert D. Livernois said the school system received the tip through OK2SAY late Sunday night. 

The threat reportedly came through on the app Snapchat where the user allegedly said they planned to bring a gun to school on Monday.
