For Bath, Memory of 1927 School Bombing that Killed 44 Never Goes Away
Bath, MI
Andrew Kehoe spent months in planning, buying dynamite and testing detonation devices. He hid hundreds of pounds of dynamite under the school, wired to an alarm clock.
On May 18, 1927, the last day of school before summer vacation, the bomb went off, destroying a wing of the school. The explosion could be heard for miles. People milled around, finding survivors and bodies in the debris and broken glass.
Kehoe returned in his truck and asked for the superintendent. When the superintendent approached Kehoe's truck, the second bomb detonated, killing Kehoe and the superintendent.
Thirty-seven children and seven adults died, and 58 were injured. It was the worst school disaster in U.S. history.

Dearborn Heights Police Identify Woman Stabbed Thursday Night as 33-Year-Old DPS Teacher
Dearborn Heights, MI
Dearborn Heights Police are still investigating the killing. They say Dupree’s husband called 911 and told them a home invader had stabbed his wife. Police arrived minutes later. They aren’t releasing details, but what they found led them to arrest Nytia Dupree’s 38-year-old husband. He is in jail, but has not yet been charged with a crime.
“What he told police, did not match up to evidence at the scene,” said Dearborn Heights Police Capt. Jeff Seipenko.

A quick-thinking Michigan mom might have saved a life by getting her son's school locked down after he sent a text message threatening one of his teachers.
The 14-year-old was caught near his Pontiac school Tuesday afternoon -- armed with a loaded .357 handgun -- after his mom reported the text, which read, "I need you to come get me. I'm about to straight up off this teacher dead in his face. He pissed me off. I'm so serious," myFOXdetroit.com reported.
The student had been at trouble at his school -- Great Lakes Academy -- earlier in the day.

School Administrator Killed in Home Invasion
Dearborn, Michigan
"Two men, including a teenage relative of the victims, are in custody and are expected to face charges in a baseball bat attack that left one person dead and two others critically injured Monday.
Two other potential victims in the apparent home invasion and robbery may have been spared injuries because they hid in the house on the 26000 block of Rose Hill and called police, Farmington Hills Police Chief Chuck Nebus said."
A sad story, indeed. How will these schools handle the violent loss of one of there own, even when the violence did not occur in the school?
