Police were called to Lincoln Park High School after a student allegedly threatened to shoot a teacher on Wednesday, but the teen wasn’t taken into custody after the school declined to press charges hours later.

The confrontation started when the teacher asked the 17-year-old student to leave the school’s auditorium around 9:40 a.m. because the teen wasn’t supposed to be there, according to a police report. While walking out, the student began using “strong profanity” and made the shooting threat, the report stated.
