Romulus School Gunfire Suspect Berates Judge at Arraignment, Held Without Bond

The case now advances toward a Jan. 20 court date after a no-bond ruling.

Overview

  • Police say Shawntez Gregory, 44, fired several rounds a foot from Romulus Middle School after being denied entry, triggering a lockdown with no injuries.
  • Officers arrested him within minutes outside the Wick Road campus as school access controls kept him from getting inside, officials said.
  • He is charged with false report or threat of terrorism, an intentional threat against a school, carrying a concealed weapon, possessing a gun in a school zone, reckless use of a firearm, and two felony-firearm counts.
  • During Thursday’s arraignment, he swore repeatedly, plugged his ears, and told Judge Lisa Martin to “get a real job,” then stood mute to the charges.
  • He was remanded without bond and set for a Jan. 20 court date, as the judge cited prior trespass complaints and an alleged kidnapping; relatives have reported he has schizophrenia.
