On the morning of Wednesday July 2nd, a false active shooter alert triggered at the Lapeer County Courthouse due to a technical glitch in a new emergency system being installed. Local police and emergency teams responded immediately but quickly confirmed no threat was present. Sheriff Scott McKenna thanked all responders for their quick action and assured residents the incident was only a system error, with no danger to the public. The courthouse and the system’s vendor are investigating the cause to prevent future issues.
