Bond Reduced For Man Charged With Threatening To Carry Out School Shooting In Huntersville

HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. —  The man accused of threatening to shoot up a school in Huntersville had his bond reduced in court Friday.

Police say they arrested Michael Buck for threaten to carry out a school shooting.  Buck has been charged with making a false report concerning mass violence at an educational facility.  He was initially being held on a $1M bond.

During his court hearing Friday afternoon, a judge said Buck could be released on a written promise to appear in court.  However, officials with the District Attorney’s Office revisited the case and made Buck appear before the court once again.  At that time a new bond of $50,000 was set.

Buck is still in the Mecklenburg County Jail.
