EAST LANSING, Mich. — East Lansing's MacDonald Middle School closed Thursday morning for the rest of the day due to a possible threat.

East Lansing police are still investigating the incident but do not have any suspects. “We do not know who the letter is from,” said Lieutenant Chad Pride of the East Lansing Police Department .“We do not have anyone in custody.”

On Thursday, the school sent home its students because of a note that was attached to the exterior of the school. The school sent a phone message to district parents, saying that “a concerning note (was) found during arrival.”
