As if the copycat threats of school violence following the tragedy in Oxford weren't bad enough, now we have one from a teacher.

The Detroit News reports on a St. Clair Shoresv case:
A middle school teacher is expected be arraigned Monday after she allegedly was captured on video slipping notes under the office doors of multiple faculty members threatening school violence, the acting Macomb County prosecutor said.
Jefferson Middle School staff discovered the notes at about 7:30 a.m. Friday and alerted St. Clair Shores police, according to a police department press release. Following a review of school surveillance video, the teacher was arrested, Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido said Saturday.
The teacher is in the county jail.
The threats apparently were made "in the hope of closing school," says Lakeview Public Schools Superintendent Karl Paulson. "Based on the facts, information and timeline, the team was confident everyone was safe, and there was no need for initiating any lockdown or other safety protocols," he adds in a statement.
The situation puzzles the prosecutor.
"The question now becomes why? What was the reason this teacher was putting notes under the doors of staff members? It was more than one note," Lucido said. "I guess you'd have to get a crystal ball to find out why she'd do something like this."
